针药结合治疗特发性震颤疗效观察

Clinical observation on acupuncture combined with medication for treatment of essential tremor

目的:观察针刺结合西药对特发性震颤的临床疗效。方法:将60例特发性震颤患者随机分为两组,每组30例。针药组针刺百会、四神聪、太溪等穴位,同时口服普萘洛尔;药物组单纯口服普萘洛尔。治疗30天后分别观察两组综合疗效及震颤评分。结果:针药组总有效率为90.0%(27/30),明显高于药物组的56.7%(17/30)(P<0.01);针药组震颤评分明显优于药物组(P<0.05)。结论:针刺结合口服普萘洛尔治疗特发性震颤相对单纯口服普萘洛尔具有较好的疗效。

Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with western medicine for treatment of essential tremor. Methods Sixty cases of essential tremor were randomly divided into two groups, 30 cases in each group. The combined acupuncture and medication group was treated with acupuncture at Baihui （GV 20）, Sishencong （EX-HN 1）, Taixi （KI 3）, etc. and oral administration of Propranolol; the medication group was treated with oral administration of Propranolol only. The comprehensive effects and the scores of tremor were observed after 30 days of treatment in the two groups. Results The total effective rate of 90. 0% （27/30） in the combined acupuncture and medication group was obviously higher than that of 56.7% （17/30） in the medication group （P〈0.01）, the tremor score of the combined acupuncture and medication group was obviously better than that of the medication group （P〈0. 05）. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with oral administration of Propranolol has better therapeutic effect on essential tremor than that of oral administration of Propranolol only.
