Methods： A total of 58 cases with PD due to cold-dampness were randomly allocated into an observation group （n=29） and a control group （n=29）. Patients in the observation group were treated with acupuncture and suspended moxibustion at Ciliao （BL 32）, whereas patients in the control group were treated with routine acupuncture alone. After three courses of treatment, the clinical efficacy was evaluated and compared between the two groups. Results： After treatment, the symptom scores were significantly reduced in both groups （P〈0.05）, but there were no significant between-group differences in clinical efficacy and symptom scores （P〉0.05）. Conclusion： With fewer points and less pain, acupuncture-moxibustion at Ciliao （BL 32） can obtain similar effect as routine acupuncture therapy for PD due to cold-dampness.展开更多

Points supplemented according to symptoms: Weizhong(BL 40) is supplemented for lumbar vertebra hypertrophy spondylitis; Weizhong (BL 40) and Kunlun(BL 60) supplemented for acute lumbar muscle sprain; Zhibian (BL 54), Huantiao (GB 30) and Ahshi points supplemented for nervi cluniam superior inflammation, and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Mingmen(GV 4) supplemented for impotence. Gauge 28 2 cun long needles are used. The needles are inserted perpendicularly into Shenshu(BL 23), Dachengshu(BL 25) and Ciliao(BL 32) to a depth of about 1.2～1.5 cun. Other supplementary points are needled and stimulated with routine manipulations, generally the reducing method is used for excess syndrome, and the reinforcing method applied to deficiency syndrome. The author, on the basis of many years of clinical practice, considers that “lumbar three point needling” is fairly effective in treating lumbosacral diseases.展开更多
