Electroacupuncture at Qiuxu (GB 40) for Treatment of Migraine——A Clinical Multicentral Random Controlled Study

Objective： To observe the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture （EA） at Qiuxu （GB 40） for treatment of migraine so as to provide clinical evidence for compilation of the Acupoints＇ Dictionary of the People＇s Republic of China. Methods： 275 migraine patients admitted in 3 hospitals were randomly divided into a treatment group treated by EA at Qiuxu （GB 40）, and a control group treated by EA at Tianshu （ST 25）. The indexes of the migraine symptoms and the 5-HT level were observed in both the groups before and after treatment. Results： There was an significant difference in VAS score between the two groups of the 3 clinical centers （P〈0.01）. The therapeutic effects of a 4-week treatment were much better in the treatment group than that of the control group. The 3-month follow-up survey showed that the long-term effects were in favor of the treatment group of the first and third clinical centers, though no significant difference was found in the treatment group of the second clinical center as compared with the control group. The results from the 6-month follow-up survey showed better effects in the treatment group of all the 3 clinical centers. Conclusion： EA at Oiuxu （GB 40） may show effect for migraine.

不同穴位电针治疗偏头痛效果及其影响因素的研究

目的:比较电针丘墟穴和天枢穴对偏头痛的疗效,探讨影响疗效的因素。方法:将275例患者随机分为试验组138例,采用电针丘墟穴治疗;对照组137例,采用电针天枢穴治疗。观察两组的疗效,并对影响因素进行分析。结果:试验组即时有效率为70.3%,对照组为58.4%,两组比较,P<0.05,治疗4周、随访3个月和6个月疗效比较均P<0.001,电针丘墟穴的效果优于电针天枢穴;电针治疗偏头痛对从事脑力劳动人群、治疗时疼痛评分高、偏头痛发作次数多的人群即时镇痛效果更好;电针治疗偏头痛的长期疗效丘墟穴优于天枢穴。结论:电针丘墟穴治疗偏头痛的疗效优于天枢穴,患者的职业和病情等是影响疗效的因素。

电针丘墟穴治疗偏头痛的多中心随机对照临床研究

目的观察电针丘墟穴治疗偏头痛的疗效,为《中华人民共和国针灸穴典》提供丘墟穴主治偏头痛的临床研究资料。方法3家三级甲等医院同时按照任务书的要求分别进行临床观察,以天枢穴为对照组,按照就诊的先后顺序查随机数字表进行分组,治疗组和对照组均采用电针方法,观察两组治疗前后偏头痛各项症状指标和5-羟色胺。结果3所医院合并的两组患者视觉模拟标尺法评分差值差异有显著性意义(P<0.01)。3个临床中心和合并的两组患者4周疗效差异均有显著性意义,治疗组效果好。第一、第三临床中心和合并的两组患者3个月疗效差异均有显著性意义,治疗组效果较好。第二临床中心的两组患者3个月疗效差异无显著性意义。3个临床中心和合并的两组患者6个月疗效差异有显著性意义,治疗组效果较好。结论电针丘墟穴治疗偏头痛是一种有效的方法。
