Method Fifty patients of post-herpetic neuralgia treated with needle-embedding therapy from January 2013 to June 2014 at Department of pain of the Second People＇s Hospital of Yibin City were selected. At each time of needle-embedding therapy, 4-8 points were selected. Patients were treated once a day, 5 times for a course of treatment and received a total of 1-3 courses of treatment. Meanwhile, the curative effect was analyzed in accordance with Criteria of Diagnosis and Therapeutic Effect of Diseases and Syndromes in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Result Among the 50 patients, the markedly effective rate was 84.0% （42/50）, the effective rate was 16.0% （8/50） and the total effective rate was 100.0%. Conclusion Needle-embedding therapy for the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia offers a good curative effect.展开更多

In the embedding needle therapy group, the thumb-tack needles were used at Sizhúkōng(丝竹空TE 23), Hànyàn(颔厌GB 4), Wángǔ(完骨GB 12) and Cuánzhú(攒竹BL 2) and the needles were embedded for 24 h. The embedding needle therapy was given three times a week. In the flunarizine group, flunarizine was prescribed, 10 mg a day. Separately, at the end of the 4-week treatment and in 4 weeks of the follow-up, the number of days of headache attack per month(days/month) and the headache duration(hours/month)in the cases with moderate to severe headache were observed in the two groups.Results: The number of days of headache attack in the cases with moderate to severe headache was reduced after treatment as compared with the number before treatment in the two groups. The headache duration was reduced obviously after treatment in the cases of moderate to severe headache in the two groups. In the 4-week follow-up, all the indexes were still reduced as compared with the indexes before treatment, indicating the significant differences in the two groups(both P < 0.05). In the embedding needle therapy group, at the end of the 4-week treatment and in 4 weeks of the follow-up, the number of days of headache attack per month was(8.1 ± 2.4) days and(7.2 ± 1.6) days separately, which were significant difference as compared with(9.7 ± 2.3) days and(8.9 ± 1.4) days in the flunarizine group(both P < 0.05). Regarding the headache duration, at the end of the 4-week treatment and in 4 weeks of the follow-up, it was(105.6 ± 10.5) h/month and(92.1 ± 7.2) h/month respectively in the embedding needle therapy group, indicating the significant differences as compared with(135.4 ± 8.9) h and(116.1 ± 8.2) h in the flunarizine group respectively(both P < 0.05).Conclusion: The 4-week treatment with the embedding needle therapy obviously reduces the number of days of headache attack and the headache duration, presents the preventative effects in the patients with chronic migraine.展开更多
