Methods: Twenty-eight cases of primary trigeminal neuralgia were treated by point penetrating injection plus ear pressing, controlled by 28 cases treated only by acupuncture, Results: The total effective rate was 96,43% in observation group and 78.57% in control group. There wasa significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P〈0.05). Results: Point penetrating injection plus ear pressing is the effective method in treating primary trigeminal neuralgia.展开更多

The observation group was intervened by ear acupuncture plus injection at Zusanli(ST 36), and the control group was intervened by oral administration of Ibuprofen, 10 d as a treatment course. The clinical efficacies of the two groups were compared after 2 treatment courses; the visual analogue scale(VAS),present pain intensity(PPI) and 36-item short-form health survey(SF-36) were measured before and after the treatment;the changes of interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-10 after the treatment were also observed.Results: The VAS and PPI scores were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups(both P〈0.01). After the treatment, the VAS score in the observation group was significantly different from that in the control group(P〈0.05). The component scores of SF-36 were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups(P〈0.01); after the treatment, the scores of physical functioning(PF), bodily pain(BP), social functioning(SF), and mental health(MH) in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group(all P〈0.05). The contents of IL-6 and IL-10 dropped significantly after the intervention in both groups(both P〈0.01), and the between-group differences were also statistically significant(both P〈0.01). The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P〈0.05).Conclusion: Ear acupuncture plus injection at Zusanli(ST 36) can significantly improve the shoulder pain after laparoscopic gynecological surgery, down-regulate the expressions of IL-6 and IL-10, and boost the recovery.展开更多
