Methods： Sixty eight cases of STC patients were randomly and evenly assigned into acupuncture group （n=34） and medication （control） group （n=34）. In acupuncture group, Tianshu （天枢 ST 25） and Zhigou （支沟 TE 6） were punctured and stimulated electrically by setting the parameters of 1 Hz, continuous waves, suitable strength and duration of 30 min. Patients of the control group were ordered to take Tongbionling （bowel-movernent promotion） Capsule, 5 cap sules/time, once daily. Results： After 28 days＇ treatment, symptom scores in both groups were decreased significantly and colonic ejection rates within 72 hours increased considerably in comparison with pre-treatment （ P〈 0, 01 ） ; and the therapeutic effects of acupuncture group were remarkably better than those of control group in lowering symptom score and raising colonic ejection rate （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Acupuncture is a simple and practical method for the treatment of STC and its therapeutic effect is reliable.展开更多

Up to now, researches on the effect of acupuncture in treating constipation are seldom seen, thus, much attention should be paid about this by clinical and experimental researchers.展开更多

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

Method： Compound diphenoxylate was used to set up rat model of constipation. After needling “Hegu” and “Housanli”, the time to first bowel movement, and stool grains quantity and weight in 12 rats were observed. Results： The time to first bowel movement was delayed, and the stool grains quantity and weight were reduced in the model rats. Acupuncture could significantly shorten the time to first bowel movement, and increase stool grains quantity and weight. Conclusion： Acuouncture can imorove the defecating abilities in rats model ofconstioation.展开更多
