Methods: In an open control study, 93 cases of the patients with depression were randomly allocated to three groups: 30 cases in the acupuncture-medication group (AM), 30 cases in Prozac Group A (A), and 33 cases in Prozac Group B (B). The acupuncture-medication group was treated by oral administration of Prozac 20 mg/d plus acupuncture. Prozac Group A was treated by oral administration of Prozac 20 mg/d. Prozac Group B was treated by oral administration of Prozac 20-40 mg/d. All three groups were treated for 6 weeks. The therapeutic effects and adverse reaction were evaluated by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) respectively in the three groups. Results: The effective rate was 86.7% in the acupuncture-medication group, 63.3% in Prozac Group A and 87.9% in Prozac Group B. The therapeutic effect was better in the acupuncture-medication group than in Prozac Group A, and there was no significant difference in comparisonwith Prozac Group B (P〉0.05). But the occurrence rate of drug adverse reaction was higher in Prozac Group B than in the acupuncture-medication group. Conclusion: Simultaneous application of acupuncture and medication is a therapeutic method with affirmative effect and less side effect for post-stroke depression.展开更多
