A total of 100 patients were randomly divided into scalp acupuncture group (n = 50) and medication control group (n= 50). In the former group, penetration needling from Baihui (GV 20) to Qianding (GV 21) and from Shuaigu(GB 8) to Xuanli (GB 6) was performed, followed by conducting electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation; while in control group, intravenous drip of Ligustrazine injectio 120 mg plus 5% glucose solution 250 mL (once daily, with 14 days being a therapeutic course) was given in the first therapeutic course and then intravenous drip of Piracetum injectio (2 g plus 5% glucose or normal saline 250 mL, once daily, continuously for 14 days) conducted in the second therapeutic course. Results: After treatment, of the 50 cases in scalp acupuncture group, 26 (52%) were recovered basically, 15 (30%) had significant improvement, 7 (14%) had improvement and 2 (4%) failed in the treatment; while of the 50 cases in control group, 15 (30%) recovered basically, 17 (34%) had marked improvement, 16 (32%) had improvement and 2 (4%) failed in the treatment. The integral values of hemiplegia and aphasia of scalp acupuncture group were less than those of control group (P <0.01). It Indicates that the therapeutic effect of scalp acupuncture is superior to that of control group.展开更多

Among various types of cervical spondylopathy, the one involving the vertebral arteries is frequently encountered in the middle-aged and the old people. It is often accompanied with arteriosclerosis and high blood viscosity, and clinically it is difficult to be treated. From March 1996 to December 2000, the authors hadtreated 72 cases of cervical spondylopathy of this type and achieved satisfactory therapeutic effects shown by clinical symptoms and indicated by the trans-cranial Doppler ultrasonic examination (TCD). This is reported as follows.

Methods: 80 Wistar rats (anesthetized with 20% urethane 1 g/kg, i.p.) were randomly divided into normal, saline, model and EA groups, with 20 cases in each group. Cerebral hemorrhage model was established by intracerebral injection of the rat’s own arterial blood sample (40 uL). In rats of saline group, the same volume of saline was given for intracerebral injection. Extracellular electrical activity of neurons of the caudate nucleus and parafascicular nucleus and Tail flicking latency (TFL) were used as the indexes. “Baihui”(百会 GV 20) and “Taiyang”(太阳 EX-HN 5) were punctured from GV 20 towards EX-HN 5 with filiform needles and stimulated electrically with stimulating parameters of strength of 1 V, frequency of 15 Hz and duration of 15 min. Results: Compared with normal group, TFL values of model group and EA group increased significantly (P<0.01); and compared with model group, those of EA group decreased significantly (P<0.01), suggesting that the pain threshold increased significantly in cerebral hemorrhage rats while after acupuncture stimulation, it lowered strikingly. Compared with normal and saline groups, the latency values of the pain excitement and inhibitory responses of the cellular discharges of the caudate and parafascicular nuclei in model and EA groups increased significantly (P<0.05～0.01), while after EA, it recovered apparently (P<0.01), showing an apparent regulative effect of EA on the abnormal changes of discharges of neurons around the cerebral hemorrhage focus. Conclusion: Scalp-acupuncture possesses an apparent regulatory effect on the abnormal electrical activity of neurons around the cerebral hemorrhage focus which may favor the early recovery of functional activity of neurons near the focus tissues.展开更多

After 30 sessions of treatment, there was a significant difference between the two groups in the therapeutic effect (P<0.05), indicating enclosing needling being superior to scalpacupuncture. Both enclosing needling and scalpacupuncture could lower plasma NO content while the former was more apparent in lowering plasma NO level.展开更多

Some chooses related points on the head to treat diseases according to the theory of Zang-fu organs and the theory of meridians and collaterals, others needle the corresponding stimulating areas on the scalp according to the action location of cerebral cortex. Its theoretical foundation includes the theory of meridians and collaterals, the theory of the action location of cerebral cortex and the theory of holographic biology. The author used it solely or in combination with body acupuncture and moxibustion not only for the central nerve diseases, but also for all other various diseases and symptoms, as well as cortex-internal organs dysfunction with satisfactory therapeutic effects. This article listed the treatment with scalp acupuncture and other needling methods for incontinence of urine, loss of vision and excessive salivation.展开更多
