Comparison of therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on diabetic peripheral neuropathies

OBJECTIVE: To observe and compare therapeutic effects of acupuncture, acupoint injection and tapping with plum-blossom needle and its influences on the nerve conduction velocity in the patient of diabetic peripheral neuropathies. METHODS: Fifty-four cases were randomly divided into 3 groups. The group I were treated by the basic treatment plus acupuncture, the group II by the basic treatment plus acupoint injection of methycobal, and the group III by the basic treatment plus tapping with plum-blossom needle. RESULTS: The effective rate was 85.71% in the group III, 76.47% in the group II and 56.25% in the group I; after treatment MCV and SCV improved significantly in the group III.
