Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupoint embedding therapy in treating chronic constipation. Method Sixty-six patients with chronic constipation were randomized into a treatment group （36 cases） and a control group （30 cases）. The treatment group received embedding therapy, while the control group received ordinary needling therapy, and the therapeutic effects were compared after 1 ~2 treatment courses between the two groups. Result The total effective rate was 94.4% in the treatment group, versus 90.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant （P〉0.05）. Conclusion Both point embedding and filiform needling therapies are effective in treating chronic constipation, while the embedding therapy is more acceptable by the patients.
