CLINICAL STUDY ON TREATMENT OF TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA BY NEEDLING MENTAL AND MANDIBULAR FORAMINA

In the present paper, 126 patients with neuralgia involving the mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve were treated mainly by puncturing the mental foramen and the mandibular foramen. The two foramina are both located in the focus through which the Stomach Channel of Foot-Yangming passes. Among the 126 patients, 42 were attributed to the light type, 61 to the moderate type one and the other 23 to serious type. Acupuncture treatment was given once daily, 30 min every time, with 10 days being a therapeutic course. After 3 courses of treatment, results showed that 29 (69.1%) light-type cases, 35(57.4%) moderate-type cases and 6 (26.1%) serious-type cases were cured. It displays that the less serious the symptom, the higher is the cure rate, and the shorter the duration of disease, the better is the therapeutic effect.

35 CASES OF PRIMARY TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA TREATED BY PAIN-POINT NEEDLING

The author has treated 35 cases of primary trigeminal neuralgia by using pain-point needling with satisfactory results.According to chief complaint of the patient,tendernesswas located.The needle was rapidly inserted the tenderness,obliquely into a depth of about 0.5cun,continuously manipulating the needle at a small amplitude and a high frequency,lifting-thrusting method used with twirling alternately for about 2 min.Then the needle was retained.The manipulation of the needle produced needling sensation of local soreness and distension with-in the limit of ease in the patient.Baihui（GV 20）,Hegu（LI 4）,Taichong（LR 3）points were com-bined.The needles at all the points were manipulated once each 10 min and retained for one hour.After withdrawal of the needle,Fengchi（GB 20）,Xiaguan（ST 7）,Taiyang（EX-HN 5）,Sibai（ST2）,Chengjiang（CV 24）on both sides and their surrounding regions received slightly pressing andrubbing for about 5 min.The treatment was given once a day,10 sessions constituting one c     

ANALYSIS ON THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT OF 2656CASES OF PRIMARY TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

In the present paper,the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture therapy for treat-ment of primary prosopalgia was observed and its influencing factors were analyzed in 2656 patients.Yuyao(EX-HN4),Touwei(ST8),Sibai(ST2),Quanliao(SI18),Xiaguan(ST7)and Ji-achengjiang were punctured selectively according to the involvement of different branches of the trigeminal nerve.After treatment,of the 2656cases,the trigeminal neuralgia disappeared in 1469(55.31),727(27.37%)had marked improvement,430(16.19%)had improvement and 30(1.13%)had no any significant effect.The three years‘follow-up visit in 245cases showed a relapse in 187cases(76.3%).We think that the therapeutic effect is closely related to the needling manipula-tions.Only when an electric shock-like needing sensation appeared(i.e.“qi reaching th affected area”)after inserting the acupuncture needle into the chief acupoints,a better therapeutic effect would be achived.

CLINICAL STUDY ON TREATMENT OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOTIC SYNDROME WITH BEETLE NEEDLE

The authors treated 68 cases of cervical spondylotic syndrome with beetle nee-dle,a new needle apparatus(made by themselves)which is not inserted into the skin of the humanbody.A total of 15 sessions of treatment were given to every patient.Results showed that 56 cases(82％)were cured,7 cases(10.3％)improved and 5 cases(7.4％)invalid.Just as its name implies,the beetle is instead of acupuncture needle.All the diseases being able to be treated with acupunctureneedle could also be treated with beetle needle.In addition,the beetle needle therapy has no violentpain,is safe,effective and easy to be popularized. It also has no harm to viscerae,no cross infection,no dangers of broken needle and of failing during treatment,so,the patient needs not to be in fear.The therapy is preferable for patients to accept.
