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 OBSERVATION ON THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE PLUS MANUAL REPOSITION FOR TREATMENT OF ACUTE LUMBAR VERTEBRAL ARTICULAR DYSKINESIA

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of acupuncture plus manual reposition for treatment of acute lumbar vertebral articular dyskinesia for choosing a better remedy. Methods: 66 cases of acute lumbar vertebral articular dyskinesia were randomly divided into acupuncture plus manual reposition group (treatment group, n= 33) and routine manual reposition group (control group, n = 33). Yaotong-point was punctured, when, the patient was asked to move his or her waist simultaneously. Results: After one session of treatment, of the two 33 cases in treatment and control groups, 28 (84.85%) and20 (60.61%) were cured, 4 (12.12%) and 9 (27.27%) were improved, and 1 (3.03%) and 4 (12.12%) failed in the treatment. The therapeutic effect of treatment group was significantly superior to that of control group ( P＜ 0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with manual reposition is apparently superior to simple routine manual reposition in relieving acute lumbar vertebral articular dyskinesia.
