Methods： 60 cases with biliary colic were randomized into two groups, 30 cases in each group. Day-prescription of five transport points was employed in the treatment group, while point selection based on pattern identification was employed in the control group. Results： The pain-killing rates between the two groups had no statistical differences （P〉0.05）. Conclusion： Day-prescription of acupoints can obtain similar pain-killing effect with point selection based on pattern identification, but with less points and treatments.展开更多

Methods:Symptom-related and chronoacupuncture were used within a five stages acupuncture beginning withneedling of competent pair of confluent points and followed by Zi Wu Liu Zhu chronoacupuncture.Results: After 58 symptom-related acupuncture treatments the vision increased from 10 to 70 percentand remained stable. 18 months later one Zi Wu Liu Zhu chronoacupuncture was carried out following aneedling concept of five stages. Within one hour the vision increased from 70 to 90 percent.Conclusions: Ophthalmologists should offer acupuncture to patients suffering from eye in-flammationsand retina scars. Acupuncturists should use Zi Wu Liu Zhu and powerful acupoints and acupointcombinations in order to invigorate and to move qi and blood strongly. This case shows theeffectiveness of acupuncture and chronoacupuncture in a case of retina scar caused by toxoplasmosis.Therefore, acupuncture treatment might be successfully applied in diseases where Western medicinecannot offer help.展开更多
