Methods: A total of 70 patients with LIDH were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 35 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with acupuncture at abdomen acupoints plus tuina, while the control group was treated only with tuina treatment. The clinical efficacy was observed after one course of treatment. Results: The cure rate and the total effective rate of the observation group were 83.3% and 96.7%, respectively. The cure rate and the total effective rate of the control group were 39.4% and 78.8%, respectively. There were significant differences in the cured rate and the total effective rate between the two groups (both P<0.05). There was no significant differenee in Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the JOA scores of both groups in creased sign ifica ntly, and the in tra-group differe nces were statistically sign ifica nt (both P<0.05);the JOA score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at abdomen acupoints plus tuina has a better therapeutic effect than tuina alone in the treatment of LIDH.展开更多

Methods： A total of 66 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group（n=33） and a control group（n=33）. Cases in the observation group received abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping, whereas cases in the control group received abdominal acupuncture alone. After 2, 6 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks after end of treatment, the patients in both groups were evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index（PSQI） and measure your medical outcome profile（MYMOP） based on the patients＇ self-report. Results： After 2 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate was 90.9% in the observation group, versus 63.6% in the control group, showing a statistical difference（P〈0.05）. After 6 weeks of treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in total effective rate（P〈0.05）. After 6 weeks, the sleep quality and efficiency scores in the observation group were better than those in the control group. Four weeks after end of treatment, the scores of sleep quality and MYMOP in the observation group were better than those in the control group（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Abdominal acupuncture plus plum-blossom needle tapping can obtain fast, accurate effect for primary insomnia and improve patients＇ sleep quality and efficiency.展开更多
