In acupuncture group, acupuncture was applied on Fengchi （ 风池 GB 20）, Chengling （承灵 GB 18）, Xuanzhong （悬钟 GB 39） and Ashi （阿是穴）, once everyday. In western medicine group, carbamazepine was administrated orally, 100 mg, Bid × 10 days. Results： In acupuncture group, 25 cases （83.3%） were cured, 4 cases （13.3%） remarkably effective, 1 case （3.4%） effective and 0 case ineffective. In western medicine group, 16 cases （53.3%） were cured, 7 cases （23.3%） remarkably effective, 2 cases （6.7%） effective and 5 cases （ 16.7 % ） ineffective. The cured-markedly effective rates of two groups were 96.6 % and 76.6 % respectively, indicating significant difference between two groups （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect with acupuncture on the greater occipital neuralgia was significant compared with that with carbamazepine.展开更多
