Observations on the Therapeutic Effect of Abdominal Acupuncture on Cervicogenic Headache

目的观察腹针疗法治疗颈源性头痛的临床疗效。方法将符合颈源性头痛临床诊断标准的63例患者按照随机数字表法,随机分为腹针组33例和针刺组30例,腹针组患者采用腹针疗法,针刺组患者采用体针治疗,两组患者经治疗3个疗程后,比较两组疗效,同时观察头痛疼痛指数积分变化。结果腹针组总有效率为84.8%,针刺组总有效率为63.3%,两组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组治疗后疼痛指数积分显著改善(P<0.05),且腹针组优于针刺组(P<0.05)。结论腹针疗法治疗颈源性头痛疗效优于普通针刺,是临床治疗颈源性头痛的一种新型有效治疗方法。

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of abdominal acupuncture in treating cervicogenic headache. Method Sixty-three patients meeting the diagnostic criteria of cervicogenic headache were allocated using a random number table： 33 cases to the abdominal acupuncture group and 30 cases to the acupuncture groups. The abdominal acupuncture group of patients received abdominal acupuncture and the acupuncture group of patients, body acupuncture. The therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups of patients after three courses of treatment. The headache index score was recorded at the same time. Result The total efficacy rate was 84.8% in the abdominal acupuncture group and 63.3% in the acupuncture group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups（P〈0.05）. The pain index score decreased significantly in both groups after treatment（P〈0.05） and decreased more in the abdominal acupuncture group than in the acupuncture group（P〈0.05）. Conclusion Abdominal acupuncture is more effective than conventional acupuncture in treating cervicogenic headache. It is a new effective way to clinically treat cervicogenic headache.
