Further the briefly introduced contents are the effect of EBM, the difficulty of utilizing in the acupuncture clinical practice and how to resolve them. It is highly recommended that the doctors of the acupuncture science field should study EBM and its effect and difficulties in practice as earlier as possible, insistently assimilate new knowledge and keep abreast of the times’ progress to facilitate the further development of acupunctology.展开更多

After acupuncture treatment, 34 cases (85 %) were cured, 4 (10 %) improved markedly and 2(5 %) improved, with total effective rate of 100 %.展开更多
