| 摘 要： | 1.500 schizophrenia patients were treatedwith acupuncture in our OPD with the followingresults:Cure 55.0% (275 cases);remarkable im-provement 16.8% (84 cases);improvement16.6% (83 cases);no effect 11.6% (58 cases).The total elective rate was 88.4% (442 cases).Cure and remarkable improvement rate was71.8% (359 cases).2.According to TCM differentiation thepatients were grouped as of three types (maniac,depressive,and paranoid).Acupuncture wasadministered through selected points.Themaniac type was generally considered as Yang(阳疮) and treated with acupuncture at pointsmainly on the Du channel.The manipulationwas reducing. Most of the depressive type was Yin (阴疮)and was treated with acupuncture on points alongthe Ren channel.The manipulation was restora-tion.Paranoia was treated mainly by invigoratingthe spleen and warming the gallbladder.Manipul-ation was also restoration.As the changes insymptoms were noted in the patient,the points orchannels were adjusted accordingly.Psycho-therapy accompanied the acupuncture treatment.Small doses of sedatives were given in some casesto boost the treatment.3.Statistically,no apparent relationship wasfound between sex,age,frequency of attacks,differentiation grouping and typing in the Wes-tern medicine system,and the therapeutic effect.Patients with a single attack were not helpedmore than patients with frequent attacks.Theprognosis for young patients under 15 was similarto that for those over 45.Our results did not tallywith the traditional concept that acupuncturetreatment in the simple type of schizophrenia wasless hopeful than for the other types.This discre-pancy required further investigation.4.Better therapeutic results were observedin patients with the shorter course of less than one year and those with sudden or relativelysudden onset of the disease,or vice versa.Itis worthy of note that 9 of our patients with acourse of over ten years responded excellently tothe therapy.5.Of the 275 cured patients,194 were fol-lowed up,revealing 63 recurrent cases,a rate of32.5%,most of which occurred within 2 yearsfollowing treatment.
