Method： A hundred and fifty cases were randomized into a treatment group and a control group by the order of visit. The cases in the treatment group were treated with ＂Stuck Needle＂ method in Ashi points plus tuina manipulations. The cases in the control group were treated with external local application of Votalin. The cases in both groups were treated once a day and 10 times made up one course. Results： Among 90 cases in the treatment group, 18 got clinical recovery, 34 got marked effect, 34 got certain effect, the marked effective rate was 57.8% and the total effective rate was 94.4%; while among 60 cases in the control group, 1 got clinical recovery, 18 got marked effect, 15 got certain effect, the marked effective rate was 31.7% and the total effective rate was 73.3%. Statistical management showed P〈0.01, indicating a significantly better effect in the treatment group. In addition, ＂Stuck Needle＂ method in Ashi points plus tuina manipulations can effectively improve local pain, tenderness, muscle spasm and motion range of joints, and can obtain significantly better effect for muscle spasm and motion range of joints. Conclusion： This therapy is safe, reliable and effective, and therefore worth spreading for clinical application.展开更多

The acupoints Xiaguan （ST 7）, Jiache （ST 6）, Yifeng （TE 17） and Hegu （LI 4） on the affected side were punctured first, after removal of needles, 5-7 layers of cotton cloth was placed on the above acupoints, then moxibustion with moxa-roll made of Chinese medicine was performed. Finally Dian-finger pressing, An-pressing and Rou stationary circular pressing with finger belly of the thumb were applied to the local region around the mandible joint for 3-5 min.

Methods： One hundred and seventy-eight patients with scapular, dorsal and lumbar myofascitis were randomly allocated to observation group treated by horizontal needling with sticking needles plus plucking manual technique and control group treated by perpendicular acupuncture at the pain point. Results and conclusion： The cure rate, and the total effective rate in the observation group were 69.6%, and 100%0 respectively and those in the control group were 13.1%, and 82.5% respectively. Statistical analysis showed a very significant difference in curative effect between the two groups （P〈0.01）, indicating that the effect was significantly better in the observation group than in the control group.展开更多
