In the control group, no any treatment was given. In the traditional acupuncture group, acupuncture was given at Sìshéncōng（四神聪EX-HN1）, bilateral Shénmén（神门HT 7） and bilateral Sānyīnjiāo（三阴交SP 6）. The needles were manipulated with the even-needling technique and retained for 30 min. In the scalp acupuncture group, acupuncture was applied to uppermiddle line of occiput（枕上正中线MS 12）, middle line of vertex（顶中线MS 5） and middle line of forehead（额中线MS 1）. The needles were manipulated with the even-needling technique and retained for 30 min.The treatment was given once a day and 5 treatments made one course. There were 2 days at interval among the courses. The therapeutic effects were analyzed statistically after 4 courses of treatment. Before and after treatment, the Hamilton anxiety scale（HAMA） and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index（PSQI）were adopted to evaluate the conditions of pre-examination anxiety and sleep in the patients.Results： In comparison of PSQI score, compared with those before treatment, the score in the scalp acupuncture group（12.95 ± 1.76 vs 15.95 ± 1.82） and in the traditional acupuncture group（13.75 ± 1.62 vs15.75±1.86） after 1-week of treatment were reduced（both P0.05）. Compared with control group, the score in the scalp acupuncture group（12.95 ± 1.76 vs15.78 ± 2.02） and in the traditional acupuncture group（13.75± 1.62 vs 15.78 ± 2.02） were better（both P〈0.05）. The difference was not significant between the scalp acupuncture group and the traditional acupuncture group（P0.05）. In 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, as well as 1 week after treatment termination, compared with the control group at the same time point, the scores in the scalp acupuncture group（in 2-week treatment： 8.95 ± 1.88 vs 15.94 ± 1.89, in4-week treatment： 5.95 ± 1.05 vs 16.5 ± 1.95, 1 week after treatment termination： 4.7 ± 0.77 vs 9.78 ± 2.10）and the traditional acupuncture group（in 2-week treatment： 11.15 ± 1.31 vs 15.94 ± 1.89, in 4-week treatment： 8.05 ± 0.89 vs 16.5 ±1.95, 1 week after treatment termination： 6.25 ± 0.85 vs 9.78 ±2.10） were all lower（all P0.05） separately. The scores in the scalp acupuncture group were superior to the traditional acupuncture group（all P0.05）. In comparison of HAMD score, compared with those before treatment, the score in the scalp acupuncture group（22.4 ± 5.31 vs 25.2 ± 6.18） and in the traditional acupuncture group（22.4 ± 5.31 vs 25 ±5.97） after 1-week of treatment were reduced（both P〈0.05）.Compared with control group, the score in the scalp acupuncture group（22.4± 5.31 vs 23.28 ±5.53）and in the traditional acupuncture group（22.4± 5.31 vs 23.28 ±5.53） were better（both P〈0.05）. The difference was not significant between the scalp acupuncture group and the traditional acupuncture group（P0.05）. In 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, as well as 1 week after treatment termination, compared with the control group at the same time point, the scores in the scalp acupuncture group（in2-week treatment： 18.5 ±4.56 vs 24.22 ± 5.22, in 4-week treatment： 5.8 ±3.52 vs 21.22 ± 6.7,1 week after treatment termination： 4.55 ± 2.72 vs 11.78 ± 9.36） and the traditional acupuncture group（in 2-week treatment： 17.5 ± 4.59 vs 24.22 ± 5.22, in 4-week treatment： 6.95 ± 3.33 vs 21.22 ± 6.7, 1 week after treatment termination： 5.8 ± 2.76 vs 11.78 ± 9.36） were all lower（all P〈0.05） separately. The scores in the scalp acupuncture group were superior to the traditional acupuncture group（all P〈0.05）. In 4-week treatment and 1 week after treatment termination, compared with control group, the total effective rates in the traditional acupuncture group（in 4-week treatment： 95% vs 11%, 1 week after treatment termination： 100% vs 83.33%, both P〈0.05） and the scalp acupuncture group（in 4-week treatment： 95% vs 11%, 1 week after treatment termination： 100% vs 83.33%, both P〈0.05） were better and the difference was not significant between the traditional acupuncture group and the scalp acupuncture group（both P0.05）.Conclusion： Both scalp acupuncture and traditional acupuncture therapies are effective on sleep disorder induced by pre-examination anxiety in the undergraduates. The scalp acupuncture therapy achieves the better effects on the instant relief of symptoms.展开更多

Methods： Sixty-two male patients with heroin dependence were divided into two groups by random number table. Thirty-five cases in the acupuncture group were treated by puncturing Baihui （GV 20）, Neiguan （PC 6）, and Shenmen （HT 7） and moxibustion at Zusanli （ST 36）. Twenty-seven cases in the control group did not receive any therapeutic measures. The therapeutic effects were summarized after observation of 8 weeks. Results： After treatment, the global scores and standard scores of anxiety declined in comparison with those before the treatment in both two groups, but there was statistical difference only in the acupuncture group （P〈0.05）. There were no statistical differences in the global score and the standard score of anxiety between the two groups, but the standard scores in the acupuncture group reached the normal level. After treatment, only the sleep latency was obviously improved in the control group （P〈0.05）. The syndromes of sleep disorder were improved noticeable in the acupuncture group （P〈0.05）, and the actual sleep time was improved better than those in the control group （P〈0.05）, and PSQI global scores decreased below the normal level. Conclusion： Acupuncture has the effects to improve sleep disorders and anxious emotion in the patients with heroin dependence.展开更多
