Purpose To observe the curative effect of acupuncture on persistent vegetative state (PVS). Method Acupuncture was used for resuscitation and subsequent symptoms in 50 PVS patients. Results and conclusion The total effective rate from acupuncture treatment of PVS was 82%. The curative effect is much related to the course of disease. The longer the course of disease, the lower the curative rate. The effect is best if the treatment lasts 11~15 months. A short course of treatment has little significance.
