CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON PENETRATION NEEDLING TREATMENT OF 65 CASES OF HYPERTENSION

The present paper reports the results of 65 hypertension patients treated with pene-tration needling（point through point method in acupuncture）.For comparison,other ps cases ofhypertension were treated with routine needling method.Changes of blood pressure were ob-served before,during and after treatment.Results showed that the hypotensive effect of the pen-etration needling was significantly superior to that of the routine acupuncture（P<0.05）.Thefollowing-up survey 3 months after treatment showed significant differences between two groupsand between post-treatment and pre-treatment in each group in the mean vahes of systolic and di-astolic pressure（P<0.05）.It reveals that acupuncture has a good hypotensive action,and thepenetration needling is of a certain long-term therapeutic effect.

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON PENETRATION NEEDLING TREATMENT OF 65 CASES OF HYPERTENSION

The present paper reports the results of 65 hypertension patients treated with penetration needling (point through point method in acupuncture). For comparison, other 45 cases of hypertension were treated with routine needling method. Changes of blood pressure were observed before, during and after treatment. Results showed that the hypotensive effect of the penetration needling was significantly superior to that of the routine acupuncture (P<0. 05). The following-up survey 3 months after treatment showed significant differences between two groups and between post-treatment and pre-treatment in each group in the mean values of systolic and di-astolic pressure (P<0. 05). It reveals that acupuncture has a good hypotensive action, and the penetration needling is of a certain long-term therapeutic effect.
