Fire needle combined with blood-letting therapy for a case of 20-year trigeminal neuralgia

Background： Trigeminal neuralgia （TN） is a neuropathic pain syndrome. It is the most frequent cranial neuralgia and defined as sudden, usually unilateral and lightning-like, knife-like or burning-like recurrent episodes of pain within the distribution area of one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve. Here we reported that an 81-year-old woman with TN who complained of severe pain on her right face showed a complete clinical relief after comprehensive therapy containing fire needle, filiform needle and blood-letting therapy. Methods： The patient was applied fire needle combined with filiform needle therapy （3 times / week for 4 months） and three consecutive fire needle combined with blood-letting therapy （3 times / week for one week）. Fire needle was inserted into the back points of Du meridian, the first lateral line of bladder meridian, the right spreading area of the trigeminal nerve and the points around the pain radiation site. The filiform needle acupuncture was applied to the points on the right face including Yuyao （EX-HN4）, Yangbai （GB14）, Toulinqi （GB15）, et al; points on the abdomen including Xiawan （RN10）, Qihai （RN16）, Guanyuan （RN14） and the bilateral points including Tianshu （ST25）, Daheng （SP15）, Zusanli （ST36）, et al.

Effect of kinetic needling combined with blood-letting puncturing and cupping on functions of upper limbs of patients with shoulder-hand syndrome after apoplexy

Objective To observe influence of kinetic needling on functional restoration of upper limbs of patients with apoplexy-induced shoulder-hand syndrome. Methods Ninety patients were randomly divided into an observation group （45 cases） and a control group （45 cases）. Basic treatments selected according to corresponding stroke units were applied to both groups. Besides, scalp acupuncture at Dingnie Qianxiexian （MS 6, 顶颞前斜线）, Dingnie Houxiexian （MS 6, 顶颞前斜线） and Dingzhongxian （NS 5, 顶中线）, was applied in the treatment group. In the observation group, active and passive movement was carried out during the process of scalp acupuncture, and then needling plus bloodletting puncturing and cupping was applied. In the control group, only needling plus blood-letting puncturing and cupping was given. Therapeutic effects, pain scoring obtained by visual analogue scales （VAS）, FugI-Meyer and FugI-Meyer＇s scoring reflecting moving functions of upper limbs were made after 4 courses of treatments in both groups. Results The total effective rate was 95.5% and 91.1% in the observation group and control group, respectively, showing superiority of the former to the latter （P〈0.05）. After treatment, VAS scores were all obviously reduced in both groups （P〈0.01）, and the reduction in the former was significantly more than that in the latter （P〈0.01）. Moving functions of upper limbs shown by Fugl-Meyer＇s scoring were improved after 2 courses of treatment in both groups （P〈0.01）. The improvement was more obvious after 4 courses of treatment than that after 2 courses of treatment in both groups （P〈0.05）. After 4 courses of treatment, moving functions shown by FugI-Meyer＇s scoring were more remarkably improved in the observation group than those in the control group（t=3.9, P〈0.01）. Conclusion Both kinetic needling combined with needling plus blood-letting puncturing and cupping and simple needling plus blood-letting puncturing and cupping are effective in treating shoulder-hand syndrome after apoplexy, and the former is better than the latter.

赞刺治疗急性期耳带状疱疹案

耳带状疱疹多因病毒侵犯面神经、听神经引起,常表现为耳部周围区域出现簇集性小水疱和剧烈神经疼痛症状。耳带状疱疹的临床治疗有一定的难度。此文报告了传统赞刺治疗急性期耳带状疱疹1则,在治疗上采用赞刺、拔罐,辅以抗病毒、止痛、营养神经等常规西医治疗,效佳。患者甲,女,36岁,以右耳周及颈部多发簇集性疱疹6天为主诉就诊。症见:全右耳、右耳周、耳后发际处、颈外侧、颈前多发性簇集性疱疹,自觉耳周灼热伴耳闷感,无耳鸣耳聋,疱疹簇状分布或连成片,各簇疱疹群之间的肤色正常。部分疱疹内含澄清液体,疱疹壁紧张发亮,少数带有脓头,局部红肿。西医诊断:耳部带状疱疹;中医诊断:蛇串疮(肝胆湿热证)。治疗上以清泻肝胆实火,燥湿解毒止痛为治则。采用连续赞刺数处小簇集状疱疹,配以拔罐治疗。行赞刺治疗后,因患处疱疹红肿明显消退,且无新发疱疹,故未再行赞刺拔罐治疗。继而选择患处局部针刺,并配以体针。体针选穴以足厥阴肝经、足少阳胆经为主以清泻肝胆湿热,疏利肝胆气机。辅以抗病毒、止痛、营养神经等常规西医治疗10天后,疱疹干枯结痂,疼痛症状基本消失。1个月后随访,患者未出现面瘫、耳聋等后遗症。

刺络拔罐治疗寻常痤疮的临床研究进展

寻常痤疮是一种好发于颜面、胸背部的损容性疾病,传统医学认为其与肺脾肝失调及风湿热毒、瘀血痰浊阻于体内相关。刺络拔罐作为痤疮中医外治的典型方法之一,已在临床广泛应用,疗效可靠。刺络拔罐治疗寻常痤疮能明显改善皮损状态,但存在操作方法不统一、实验设计不严谨、缺乏远期疗效观察等问题。故本文通过回顾近7年的相关文献,从单纯刺络拔罐、刺络拔罐结合中药、针刺、火针、其他外治法、综合疗法六个方面进行总结,以期为临床治疗提供参考。

Clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treatment ofchronic urticaria and its effects on the content of IgE and the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cell function

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treatment of chronic urticaria and the change in the content of serum immunoglobulin E(IgE),and to discuss the effect of acupuncture on the imbalance of T helper(Th)1/Th2 cell function via observing the changes in the contents of interferon-y(IFN-y)and interleukin-4(IL-4).Methods:Ninety patients meeting the inclusion criteria of chronic urticaria were randomized into an acupuncture-medication group,an acupuncture group and a Western medication group by the random number table method.The acupuncture-medication group was intervened by acupuncture,cupping,collateral-pricking bloodletting and oral administration of cetirizine hydrochloride tablets;the acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture,cupping and collateral-pricking bloodletting;the Western medication group only received oral administration of cetirizine hydrochloride tablets.Before treatment and after 6-week treatment,the changes in the symptom scores and the contents of serum IgE,IFN-γ and IL-4 in the three groups were observed.Results:There were no significant differences in the total effective rate among the three groups(all P>0.05),but the cured and markedly effective rate was significantly higher in the acupuncture-medication group than that in the Western medication group(P<0.05).After treatment,the total symptom score decreased in the three groups(P<0.05),and the improvement of total symptom score in the acupuncture-medication group was more significant than that in the Western medication group(P<0.05).The component symptom scores all decreased after treatment in the three groups(all P<0.05);the improvements of the scores of itch intensity,and skin lesion size and number were more significant in the acupuncture-medication group than in the Western medication group(all P<0.05);the improvement of the skin lesion size score was more significant in the acupuncture group than in the Western medication group(P<0.01).The contents of IgE and IL-4 dropped(all P<0.05)and the content of IFN-y increased(P<0.05)after treatment in the three groups;the post-treatment changes in the serum contents of IgE and IFN-y were more significant in the acupuncture-medication group than in the Western medication group(both P<0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the acupuncture-medication group and acupuncture group than in the Western medication group(both P<0.05),and the relapse rate was significantly lower in the acupuncture-medication group than in the Western medication group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Combined acupuncture and medication can enhance the cured and markedly effective rate in treating chronic urticaria.Acupuncture is equivalent to cetirizine hydrochloride tablets comparing the clinical efficacy in treatment of chronic urticaria.Acupuncture plus medication and acupuncture alone both can effectively mitigate the clinical symptoms,with low incidence of adverse reactions.The relapse rate is low when using acupuncture together with medication.Acupuncture plus medication can work better in regulating the contents of IgE and IFN-y and improving the imbalance of Th1/Th2 cell function.

Objective： To observe the clinical effects of collateral-pricking and cupping therapy plus moxibustion for localized neurodermatitis. Methods： A total of 94 cases with localized neurodermatitis were randomly divided into two groups by their visit order, 47 cases in each group. The cases in the treatment group were treated by bleeding method with a plum blossom needle, cupping method and moxibustion. The cases in the control group were treated by subcutaneous injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide Acetate Injection. Results： After treatment, the curative rate and total effective rate were respectively 80.9% and 100% in the treatment group and were 48.9% and 87.2% in the control group. The differences in the curative rate and total effective rate between the two groups were statistically significant （P〈0.01, P〈0.05）. Conclusion; Bleeding method by a plum blossom needle, in combination with cupping method and moxibustion, is an effective therapy for localized neurodermatitis.
