Methods： Three hundred cases were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 150 cases respectively in each group. The treatment group was treated by warm needling method, and the control group was treated by simple acupuncture. Their therapeutic effects were compared after 20 sessions of treatments. Results： The effective rate was 94.0% in the treatment group and 86.0% in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect is better in the warm needling group than in the control group in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.展开更多

Methods： Fifty-two subjects were evenly randomized into two groups and treated by conventional therapy; in addition, the control group was given mecobalamin injection at 500μg, once a day for four weeks, and treatment group was given warm acupuncture, 6 times a week for 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy and the conduction velocity of the tibial nerve and common fibular nerve were observed and compared between the two groups. Results： After four-week treatments, the total effective rate was 88.5% in the treatment group and 61.5% in the control group, with a higher rate in the treatment group than in the control group （P〈0.05）; the conduction velocity of tibial nerve and common fibular nerve was higher in both groups （P〈0.05）, with higher conduction velocity in the treatment group than in the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Warm acupuncture is quite effective to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy and to improve nerve velocity.展开更多

Methods： By random single blind control method, 80 cases were divided randomly into Group A （single Tuina group） and Group B （warming needle method plus Tuina group）, 40 cases in each group. Results： The effective rate was 95.0% in Group B and 85.0% in Group A, without significant difference （P〉0.05） in comparison between two groups. In assessment of Visual Analogue Scale, there was obvious decrease in both groups before and after the treatments （P〈0.01）. In comparison of VAS score differences between the two groups after the treatments, there was remarkable significant difference （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Warming needle moxibustion plus Tuina is better than single Tuina therapy in stopping pain.展开更多
