目的:观察头针、体针治疗良性前列腺增生的疗效。方法:对临床确诊的240例良性前列腺增生患者,随机分为头针组80例,穴取双足运感区、生殖区;体针组82例,穴取中极、关元、三阴交等;头体针结合组78例,采用头体针结合方法治疗。观察3组治疗前后前列腺体积、最大尿流率、国际前列腺症状评分(I-PSS)、生活质量评分(QOL)等变化情况。结果:头针组总有效率为72.5%,体针组为72.0%,头体针结合组为85.9%,头体针结合组治疗效果优于头针组及体针组(均P<0.05);3组治疗后最大尿流率、残余尿量、I-PSS、QOL变化等均有改善,以头体针结合组改善明显。结论:头针、体针均能改善良性前列腺增生患者临床症状、提高生活质量,尤以头体、体针结合治疗效果最佳。

Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effects （BPH） treated with scalp-acupuncture and body-acupuncture. Methods on benign prostate hyperplasia Two hundred and forty patients diagnosed clinically with BPH were randomly divided into 3 groups. In scalp-acupuncture group （80 cases）, foot-motor-sensory area and reproductive area were selected. In body-acupuncture group （82 cases）, the acupoints were selected, such as Zhengji（中极 CV 3）, Guanyau（关元 CV 4） and Sanyfnjiao （三阴交 SP 6）. In combined therapy group of scalp acupuncture and body acupuncture （78 cases）, scalp acupuncture was applied together with body acupuncture. It was to observe the changes in prostate size, Qmax, IPSS （international prostatic symptom score） and QOL （quality of life） before and after treatment of 3 groups. Results The total effective rate was 72.5% in scalp-acupuncture group, 72.0% in bodyacupuncture group and 85.9% in combined therapy group of scalp acupuncture and body acupuncture. The therapeutic effect in combined therapy group was superior to that in either scalp-acupuncture group or body-acupuncture group （both P〈0. 05）. The improvements had been obtained in Qmax, post-void residual volume （PRV）, IPSS and QOL after treatment in 3 groups, in which, the improvement in combined therapy group was apparent. Conclusion Either scalp acupuncture or body acupuncture relieves clinical symptoms and improves the quality of life in BPH patients. But, the best therapeutic effect has been obtained specially in the treatment with combined therapy of scalp acupuncture and body acupuncture.
