Observation on Curative Effect of Treatment of Depressive Neurosis with Acupuncture

Objective The curative effect of treatment of depressive neurosis with acupuncture was observed and compared with that with Deanxit. Method Forty one cases suffered from depressive neurosis were selected according to CCMD 2 R and randomly divided into acupuncture group (21 cases) and western medicine group (20 cases). The acupuncture group was treated for two courses (20 times) and western medicine group was given Deanxit for 20 days. When the treatment finished, the curative effects of two groups were scored by Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and reduction rate. Then they were compared with each other. Result There were remarkable differences in HAMD scores of each group before and after treatment ( P <0 01). There were no marked variations in sores and curative effects of two groups after treatment. Conclusion The curative effect of acupuncture was as the same as that of western medicine, Deanxit, so acupuncture may be thought as a substitute therapy for treating depressive neurosis and preventing the side effects of western medicine.
