ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture combined with auricular acupressure in treatment of nervous tinnitus.MethodsOne hundred and four patients with nervous tinnitus were randomly divided into a group A and a group B according to the method of random number table, with 52 patients in each group. In the group A, acupuncture at Yìfēng ( TE 17), Tīnggōng (SI 19), Tīnghuì ( GB 2), Ěrmén ( TE 21) and Fēngchí (GB 20) combined with auricular acupressure, such as Shènshàngxiàn ( TG 2p), Jiāogăn ( AH6a), Nèifēnmì ( CO18), NèiĚr ( LO 6), WàiĚr ( TG1u), Shèn ( CO10) and Gān ( CO12) were applied; in the group B, intravenous injection with compound Dānshēn (Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae) dissolved in 250 mL of 0.9% NaCI injection were applied, combined with oral administration of 10 mg of Vitamin B1 and 0.5 mg of mecobalamin tablets. After treatment for three courses in the two groups, efficacy was evaluated based on Reference Standards of Severity, Assessment and Efficacy Evaluation of Tinnitus.ResultsIn the group A (75 ears with nervous tinnitus), 30 ears were cured, markedly effective was seen in 21 ears, and effective in 22, and the total effective rate was 97.4%; in the group B (76 ears with nervous tinnitus), 17 ears were cured, markedly effective was seen in 20 ears, and effective in 23, and the total effective rate was 79.0%. The total effective rate in the group A was obviously superior to that in the group B, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared before the treatment, the score of tinnitus severity both reduced in two groups (both P<0.05), and the reducing amplitude of score in the group A was greater than that in the group B (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with auricular acupressure in treatment of nervous tinnitus is worthy of clinical promotion and application since it has significant efficacy, which is obviously superior to drug therapy, and without adverse effect. 相似文献
ObjectiveTo seek a better therapy for treating post-stroke dysphagia.MethodsPatients with stroke and swallowing disorders were randomly divided into ordinary acupuncture group (group A, 58 cases) and swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture group (group B, 62 cases). Two-group patients were given the same basic internal medical treatment. In addition, group A was given normal acupuncture treatment with the choice of local points: Jīnjīn ( EX-HN 12), Yùyè ( EX-HN 13), Fēngchí ( GB 20), Yìfēng ( TE 17), Liánquán ( CV 23), Wángŭ ( GB 12). Group B was given swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture: GB 20, Fēngfŭ ( GV 16), TE 17, Yìmíng ( EX-HN 14), Yămén ( GV 15), Tiānróng ( SI 17), Tiānchuāng ( SI 16), CV 23, the uniform reinforcing-reducing manipulation was used; EX-HN 12, EX-HN 13, the piercing and blood-letting method (1-2 mL blood) was used; at the same time, the swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy device was used to electrically stimulate the nerves and muscles in the throat and neck at specific output pulse current (50-100 Hz). Treatment was made twice a day, 30 minutes each time. Two weeks after the treatment, the patients were assessed in symptoms improvement and clinical efficacy.ResultsThe total effective rate in group B was 91.4% and 75.8% in group A; in the total efficiency comparison in both groups, χ2=5.232, P<0.05. The difference in improvement of symptoms with post-stroke dysphagia treated with above mentioned combination treatment was statistically significant between both groups (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe above mentioned swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture treatment has a better clinical effect when compared with ordinary acupuncture. 相似文献
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical therapeutic effect on insomnia treated with acupuncture at back-shu points.MethodsSixty-four cases of insomnia were selected and divided randomly into a back-shu points group (group A) and a conventional acupoints group (group B) by a computer generated allocation list, 32 cases in each one. In the trial group, acupuncture was applied at Xīnshū ( BL 15), Gānshū ( BL 18), Píshū ( BL 20) and Géshū ( BL 17). In the control group, acupuncture was applied conventionally to Nèiguān ( PC 6), Shénmén ( HT 7), Sānyīnjiāo ( SP 6), B?ihuì ( GV 20) and Sìshéncōng ( EX-HN 1). Ten treatments made a session. The efficacy was analyzed statistically after 3 sessions of treatment.ResultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in the relief of sleep disorders after the treatment (P<0.01). The improvement in sleep efficiency was different significantly (P<0.05), The difference in sleep difficulty was significant in Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score (P<0.05).ConclusionThe clinical efficacy is achieved by either acupuncture at back-shu points or by acupuncture at conventional acupoints. The improvements of sleep efficiency and sleep disorder scores in PSQI, and sleep difficulty in TCM as well as the long-term efficacy are superior in group A as compared with those in group B. 相似文献

CV 3 on the abdomen and EX-CA 1 on both sides were manipulated by moxisbustion. The menstrual frequency, B ultrasound examination of uterus and adnexa uteri, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone (T), prolactin (PRL), progesterone (PROG) and estradiol (E2) were recorded.ResultsMenstrual cycles were restored in twenty-six patients after six-month treatment. The total frequencies of menstruation were 105, of which 79 with normal ovulation accounting for 75.23%. The testosterone level of (109.65 ± 43.38) ng/dL before treatment were reduced to (53.7 ± 19.24) ng/dL after treatment, LH/FSH ratio of 4.15 ± 1.38 before treatment were reduced to 1.75 ± 1.09 after treatment. The differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture can promote normal ovulation and menstrual cycles in patients with PCOS by regulating endocrine level. 相似文献
