Objective To investigate the effect of massage on Tianmen acupoint in treatment of patients with anxiety. Methods A total of 128 patients with anxiety were divided into the study group and the control group, with 64 cases in each group. Both two groups were given anxiolytic drugs and the massage on Tianmen acupoint was performed to patients in the study group. The Hamilton anx- iety scale （HAMA） was used to evaluate the degree of anxiety and the clinical efficacy of two groups was compared. Results The HAMA score was decreased in both two groups after treatment （P 〈 0. 01 ）, and was significant lower in the study group than that of control at 2, 6, 8 weeks after treat- ment （P 〈0.01）. The overall effective rate was 81.25% （52/64） in the study group and was 50. 00% （32/64） in the control group, with a significant difference （P 〈 0.01 ）. Conclusion Appli- cation of massage on Tianmen acupoint is potentially effective in relieving anxiety status of patients with anxiety disorder.
