Objective：To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of the depression by the Du Meridian. Methods：Two hundred and thirty two cases were randomly divided into two groups. The control group （ 116 cases）was treated with psychotherapy. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture at Baihui （GV20）, Yintang（ EX- H N ）, Shangxing（ GV23 ）and Jiaji points selected as main acupoints,combined with eleetroacupuncture and cupping the Urinary Bladder Meridian on the basis of psychotherapy. These treatments lasted for 4 weeks in both groups. The depression severities were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale （HAMD） before treatment, at the 4th week and after the treatment. Results：The total effective rate was 73.28% in the control group and 86.21% in the treatment group with significant difference between the two groups （P 〈 0. 05 ）. After 4 weeks treatment, the HAMD score had very significant changes between the two groups（ both P 〈 0. 01 ）, and the score of treatment group was im- proved better than the control group（P 〈 0. 05 ）. There were statistical significances at the 4th week aider treatment compared with those before treatment（P 〈 0. 01 ）. Conclusion： Depression can be treated effectively by the points of the Du Meridian and the effect is better than simple psychotherapy.
