Methods: A rat model of migraine was made with nitroglycerol. The rats were treated by pricking blood. Rat behavior was observed. Brainstem c-fos and c-jun gene expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results: Ear redness improved significantly, the number of head scratchings decreased obviously (P〈0.05) and c-fos and c-jun expression was reduced markedly (P〈0.01) in the treatment group after pricking blood compared with the model group and the blank group. Conclusion: Pricking blood treatment can improve behavior indices and reduce c-fos and c-jun positive expression in migraine rats.展开更多

Methods: Thirty-seven patients with ache were randomly divided into a treatment group (treated by pricking bloodletting and cupping therapy combined with Chinese herbal mask) and a control group (only by Chinese herbal mask). The therapeutic efficacy was observed after 2-course treatment. Results: The total effective rate in the treatment group was 94.7% versus 61.1% in the control group. According to the statistical management, the total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P〈O.05). Conclusion: Pricking bloodletting and cupping therapy combined with Chinese herbal mask therapy for acne is more effective than Chinese herbal mask treatment alone.展开更多

Methods: Fifty-three cases with herpes zoster were randomly divided into two groups. Thirty-one cases in the treatment group were treated with EA at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points plus local collateral-pricking and cupping therapy. Twenty-two cases in the control group were treated with oral administration of VaLacido~;ir Hvdrochloride and Indomethaci~. Results: The curative and remarkable effective rate was 93.5% in the treatment group and 72.7% in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P〈0.01), indicating that EA plus collateral-pricking and cupping therapy is better than Western medications in the clinical effects for herpes zoster. Conclusion: The EA plus collateral-pricking and cupping method is an effective therapy for herpes zoster.展开更多

Main points Tanzhong (CV 17), Quchi (LI 11) and Jiaji (EX-B 2) were punctured, supplemented with other acupoints according to the concrete symptoms and signs and TDP irradiation for 30 min. For example, in the treatment of mastitis patients with high fever, bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Taichong (LR 3) were punctured in combination with pricking blood and cupping methods. After 1-10 sessions of treatment (once daily), all the 600 cases were effective, with 510 cases (85%) being cured, 83 cases (13.8%) remarkably effective, and with 7 cases (1.2%) effective.展开更多
