Methods： Fifty-seven patients were randomized into a treatment group （31 cases） and a control group （26 cases）. The patients in the treatment group all received combined scalp-body acupuncture treatment, while the patients in the control group were given mono-body acupuncture treatment, for I month as a treatment session. At the end of the third treatment session, the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale （YGTSS） would be compared between pre- and post-treatment. Results： In the treatment group, 2 patients were clinically cured, 4 showed markedly effective, 18 showed effective, and 7 failed, making a total therapeutic rate of 77.4%. In the control group, 0 were clinically cured, 3 showed markedly effective, 9 showed effective, 14 failed, making a total therapeutic rate of 46.2%. There was a significant difference between the two total therapeutic rates （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The combination of scalp and body acupuncture had a better therapeutic result than the mono-body acupuncture therapy in the treatment of Tourette syndrome.展开更多

Methods： Forty-five children with Yourette＇s syndrome were randomly allocated, according to a random number table, into an acupuncture group （23 cases） and a Western medicine group （22 cases）. Points Zhongwan （CV 12） and Siguan were selected in co-operation with acupuncture of other routine points in the acupuncture group. Haloperidol was orally administered for routine treatment in the Western medicine group. Results： The cure rate was 65.2% in the acupuncture group and 31.8% in the Western medicine group. There was a significant difference in cure rate between the two groups （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Earth-reinforcing and wood-reducing acupuncture has an exact curative effect on child Tourette＇s syndrome.展开更多
