“老十针”治疗慢性紧张型头痛的疗效观察

Therapeutic Observation of Lao Shi Zhen for Chronic Tension-type Headache

目的观察"老十针"治疗慢性紧张型头痛的临床疗效。方法将56例慢性紧张型头痛患者随机分为治疗组29例和对照组27例。治疗组以"老十针"为主穴针刺治疗,对照组予口服盐酸乙哌立松片。观察两组治疗前后疼痛程度、疼痛时间及发作频次的变化,并比较临床疗效。结果治疗组痊愈率为48.3%,对照组为33.3%,两组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后两组患者头痛程度、持续时间及发作频次均有明显改善(P<0.05),且治疗组头痛程度和发作频次改善优于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗组复发率为7.1%,低于对照组的22.2%(P<0.05)。结论 "老十针"治疗紧张型头痛有效。

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Lao Shi Zhen(a regular combination of 10 acupoints)in treating chronic tension-type headache(TTH).Method Fifty-six TTH patients were randomized into a treatment group of 29 cases and a control group of 27 cases.The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture with Lao Shi Zhen as the main acupoints,while the control group was intervened by oral administration of eperisone hydrochloride tablet.The intensity,duration and frequency of pain were observed before and after the treatment in the two groups,and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The recovery rate was 48.3%in the treatment group versus 33.3%in the control group,and the between-group difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The intensity,duration and frequency of headache were signfiicantly improved after the treatment in both groups(P<0.05),and the improvements in headache intensity and frequency were more significant in the treatment group than those in the control group(P<0.05).The relapse rate was 7.1%in the treatment group,significantly lower than 22.2%in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Lao Shi Zhen is effective in treating TTH.
