Methods 220 cases of primary dysmenorrhea were randomized into control group and treatment group, 110 cases in each one. In control group, fenbid was administered. In treatment group, ZhiyTn (至阴 BL 67) was selected in combination of auricular-point pressing therapy. Results The total effective rate was 94.5% in treatment group and was 76. 4 % in control group, indicating very significant difference (P〈0. 01) in com- parison. Conclusion Acu-moxibustion on BL 67 in combination of auricular-point pressing therapy presents definite therapeutic effect on primary dysmenorrhea, thus, this therapy is worth to be promoted entirely in practice.展开更多

Changes of rabbit’s auricular temperature were sampled and recorded by using a thermistorthermometer (connected with a computer) before and after moxibustion stimulation. Results indicated that moxibustion making the skin temperature reach to 48℃ could inhibit the endotoxininduced lowering reaction of auricular temperature, while moxibustion making the skin temperature of 40℃ had no this effect. It revealed that higherskintemperature moxibustion had a thermolytic effect on bodyfever, which had a close relation mainly with polymodal receptors rather than with temperature receptor. It also demonstrated that endotoxininduced changes of auricular temperature could be used as an index for evaluating the thermolytic effect of moxibustion.展开更多

Main acupoints used are Shuigou (GV 26), Fengchi (GB 20), Lianquan (CV 23) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), while otopoints used are Xin (MA IC), Gan (MA SC 5), Pi (MA IC), Shen (MA SC), Yanhou (MA T 3) and She (MA L). Following one course of treatment (12 sessions), in treatment group, of the 63 cases, 34 (54.0%) are cured, 18 (28.5%) have remarkable improvement, 5 (8.0%) have improvement, and 6 ( 9.0%) have no apparent changes, with the tottal effective rate being 90.5%; while in control group, of the 63 cases, 18 (28.5%) are cured, 11 (17.5%) have marked amelioration, 15 ( 24.0%) experience apparent amelioration and 19 (30.0%) have no obvious changes, with a total effective rate of 70.0%. The therapeutic effect of otopoint pellet pressing plus body acupuncture is significantly superior to that of simple body acupuncture in the treatment of dysphagia and water drinking induced coughing.展开更多

Methods One hundred and four patients with nervous tinnitus were randomly divided into a group A and a group B according to the method of random number table, with 52 patients in each group. In the group A, acupuncture at Yìfēng(翳风 TE 17), Tīnggōng(听宫 SI 19), Tīnghuì(听会 GB 2), ěrmén(耳门 TE 21) and Fēngchí(风池 GB 20) combined with auricular acupressure, such as Shènshàngxiàn(肾上腺 TG 2p), Jiāog?n(交感 AH6a), Nèifēnmì(内分泌 CO18), Nèi?r(内耳 LO 6), Wài?r(外耳 TG1u), Shèn(肾 CO10) and Gān(肝 CO12) were applied; in the group B, intravenous injection with compound Dānshēn(丹参 Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae) dissolved in 250 m L of 0.9% Na Cl injection were applied, combined with oral administration of 10 mg of Vitamin B1 and 0.5 mg of mecobalamin tablets. After treatment for three courses in the two groups, efficacy was evaluated based on Reference Standards of Severity, Assessment and Efficacy Evaluation of Tinnitus. Results In the group A(75 ears with nervous tinnitus), 30 ears were cured, markedly effective was seen in 21 ears, and effective in 22, and the total effective rate was 97.4%; in the group B(76 ears with nervous tinnitus), 17 ears were cured, markedly effective was seen in 20 ears, and effective in 23, and the total effective rate was 79.0%. The total effective rate in the group A was obviously superior to that in the group B, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P〈0.05). Compared before the treatment, the score of tinnitus severity both reduced in two groups(both P〈0.05), and the reducing amplitude of score in the group A was greater than that in the group B(P〈0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with auricular acupressure in treatment of nervous tinnitus is worthy of clinical promotion and application since it has significant efficacy, which is obviously superior to drug therapy, and without adverse effect.展开更多

Methods sixty female patients of simple obesity were randomly divided into two groups: an electroacupuncture group and a combined group. Each group had 30 patients treated respectively with electroacupuncture and electroacupuncture therapy combined with auricular point pressing therapy. The changes of the body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (F%), and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were observed to evaluate the effect of loosing weight. Results Compared with the scores before treatment, the BMI, F%, WHR level in two groups dropped ( all P〈0.01 ) in all 60 patients. And compared with the electroacupuncture group, the combined group dropped more obviously ( P〈0.05, P〈0.01 ) . Conclusion The effects of electroacupuncture therapy and electroacupuncture combined with auricular plaster therapy on simple obesity were both remarkable, but more in the combined group, so it indicates that the combined therapy is better than single therapy.展开更多

Methods Seventy-six patients suffering from sleep disorder in depression were randomly divided into an observation group (39 cases) and a control group (37 cases). In observation group, acupuncture at Baihui (百会 GV 20), Shangxing (上星 GV 23), Shenting (神庭 GV 24), Fengchi (风池 GB 20) and Shenmen (神门 HT 7), etc., which was combined with ear point embedding, and in control group, Fluoxetine Hydrochloride Dispersible tablet (Prozac) was orally given. Four weeks of treatments were given as a therapeutic course in both groups. Comparison of changes in scores of HAMD and PSQI was made between the two groups. Results After treatment, HAMD scores were obviously lowered in both groups (both P〈0.01), and the reduction in HAMD score was more obvious in observation group than that in control group (P〈0.05). After treatment, the reduction in PSQI score was more obvious in observation group (P〈0.01), it was more significantly decreased than that in control group. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with ear point embedding provids remarkable therapeutic effects in treating sleep disorder in depression, which is superior to those provided by Fluoxetine Hydrochloride Dispersible Fablet orally given.展开更多
