The reason for this focuses on evaluation criterion of effects on solid tumor made by the World Health Organization （WHO）, which does not reflect some aspects such as survival time of tumor patients or improvement in quality of life （QOL）. Therefore, forerunners in the CM field have been making efforts to try to find an evaluation criteria that would integrate CM and WM, and thus could be approved by CM and WM specialists.展开更多

Methods： Ninety patients were randomly allocated to a green tortoise exploring point treatment group of 30 cases, an acupuncture control group of 30 cases and a hydro-acupuncture control group of 30 cases for clinical observation. Results： The symptoms improved after treatment in all the three groups. The total efficacy rate was 100.0% in the treatment group, 76.7% in the acupuncture group and 83,3% in the hydro-acupuncture group. There were statistically significant differences between the three groups （P〈0.01, P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The technique of green tortoise exploring point is better than conventional acupuncture and hydro-acupuncture in treating piriformis injury syndrome.展开更多
