Acupuncture plus cupping for treating insomnia in college students

Objective： To observe clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture plus cupping for treating insomnia in college students. Methods： Ninety two college students suffering from insomnia were randomly divided into a treatment group （52 cases） and a control group （40 cases）. Acupuncture plus cupping was used for profiting the brain and tranquilizing the mind in the treatment group, and conventional differentiation of symptoms and signs was used in the control group. Therapeutic effect, number of treatment, self-rating sleeping scaling （SRSS）, and subtracted rate were evaluated after one month of treatment. Results： There was a significant difference in effective rate between the two groups （P〈0.05）. For the cases with moderate insomnia, the effective rate was obviously better in the treatment group than that in the control group （P〈0.05）, and for the cases with slight and moderate insomnia, the average treatment number was remarkably less in the former than that in the latter （P〈0.01）.

Moxibustion on Shenque （CV 8） Improves Effect of Acupuncture for Diarrhea-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Objective： To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-D）. Methods： A total of 60 IBS-D patients were randomly allocated into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. Patients in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture combined with ginger and salt-partitioned moxibustion on Shenque （CV 8）, whereas patients in the control group only received acupuncture treatment.

Results： The overall response rate in the treatment group was 96.7%, versus 76.7% in the control group, showing a statistical significance （P〈0.05）. In the intra-group comparison of the symptom scores after treatment, there were statistical differences in both groups （both P〈0.01）, and in the inter-group comparison, the difference was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture combined with ginger and salt-partitioned moxibustion on Shenque （CV 8） can obtain better effect for ISB-D than acupuncture alone.     

Observation on clinical effect of acupuncture for allergic rhinitis

Objective： To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus acupoint injection and laser radiation on the nasal cavity for allergic rhinitis. Methods： Ninety patients with allergic rhinitis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 45 cases in each group.
