电针治疗体表恶性肿瘤的临床观察

Clinical Observation on Effect of Electroacupuncture Therapy in Treating Superficial Tumor

目的 :探讨电针治疗体表恶性肿瘤的临床疗效。方法 :用绝缘套管保护健康组织 ,将电针插入肿瘤内 ,并连接于直流电治疗仪上进行通电治疗 (电压 6～ 8V ,电流 4 0～ 80mA) ,按肿瘤直径每 1cm给80～ 10 0库仑。结果 :32 0例患者中肿瘤完全消失 (CR ) 12 3例 ( 38 4 % ) ,肿瘤部分消失 (PR) 12 9例( 4 0 3% ) ,肿瘤缩小 1/ 4左右 (NC) 36例 ( 11 3% ) ,肿瘤无改变 (PD) 32例 ( 10 0 % ) ,总有效率 (CR +PR)为78 8%。结论 :电针治疗体表肿瘤取得了良好效果 ,对不能手术或术后复发的患者提供了新的治疗手段。本疗法具有简便易行 ,安全有效 ,创伤小 。

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of electroacupuncture therapy (EAT) in treating superficial tumors. Methods: The healthy tissue was protected by insulation sleeve, and the platinum electrodes served as needles was inserted into the tumor and connected to an EAT instrument using galvanic current. The electric voltage applied was 6～8V, the electric current was in a range of 40～80mA, and 80～100 coulomb electricity for 1 cm diameter of tumor mass was administered. Results: In the 320 cases, 123 were complete remission (CR), 129 partial remission (PR), 36 with their tumor shrinked by 1/4 and 32 with size of tumor unchanged. The total effective rate (CR+PR) was 78.7%. Conclusion: EAT shows good effect in treating superficial tumor and provides a new therapeutic means for the patients with tumor of unresectable or relapsed. It is a simple, convenient, safe and effective method with less injury and quick recovery.
