Methods： Sixty cases of STC patients were evenly randomized into Methods： group and medication group. In acupuncture group, electroaoupuncture （EA, 20 Hz, continuous waves and tolerable strength） was applied to bilateral Tienshu （ST 25） for 30 min after deep puncture. The treatment was given once daily, 5 sessions every week, two weeks altogether. Patients of control group were ordered to take Lactulose （ 10mL/time, b. i. d）, two weeks altogether. Cleveland Constipation Score （CCS） and colonic transit time （COT） were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Results： After treatment, both COS and COT showed that the therapeutic effect of acupuncture group was significantly superior to that of medication group （P〈0.05）. Six-months＇ follow up showed that the therapeutic effect of acupuncture still maintained in 13 of the 22 cases visited, while that of control group only maintained in 1 of the 19 cases. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect of deep puncture of Tianshu （ST 25） for STC is definite and has a middle-long-term effect. The patients have no any unfavorable reactions.展开更多

Methods： A total of 100 cases of CFS patients were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group which were treated with elongated needle puncture of ST 36 and CV 6 plus nursing and oral ackninistration of Shiquan Dobu Tong （十全大补汤 Decoction of Ten Powerful Tonics） separately. Acupuncture and medication were given once daily, with 7 sessions being a therapeutic course, 4 courses altogether. Results： After 4 courses of treatment, of the two 50 cases in treatment and control groups, 4 （8.0%） and 2 （4.0%） were cured, 37 （74.0%） and 16 （32.0%） experienced marked im- provernent, 6 （ 12.0 % ） and 19 （38.0 % ） had improvement, 3 （6.0 % ） and 13 （26.0 % ） tailed, with the total effective rates being 94.0% （47/50） and 74.0% （37/50） respectively. The total effective rate and markedly effective rate of treatment group were significantly higher than those of control group （P〈0.05, 0.01）. Conclusion; Deep puncture of Zusenli （ST 36） and Qihai （CV 6） with elongated needle combined with comprehensive nursing has a definite therapeutic effect in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.展开更多
