Methods Eighty cases of facial spasm were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 40 cases in each group,treated respectively by abdominal acupuncture combined with local selected points and local points simply. After 30 sessions of treatment, the therapeutic effect was evaluated. Results In the treatment group, the total effective rate reached 92.5%, the curative rate 75.0%; while in the control group, the total effective rate was 80.0%, the curative rate 55.0% with a significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05 ). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of abdominal acupuncture combined with local points is superior to that of simple local selection of points in the treatment of facial spasm.展开更多

Methods: According to the requirements of evidence-based medicine(EBM), the literature on acupuncture with distal and local point selection in recent 20 years included in domestic and overseas medical databases was retrieved, and meta-analysis of the included articles was carried out. Results: Thirty-two articles were included finally, totaling 2829 patients. The results of meta-analysis indicated that the curative effect of distal-local point combination was superior to that of simple distal point selection or local point selection during acupuncture–moxibustion treatment for diseases, and there was no obvious difference in the curative effect between simple distal point selection and local point selection. According to the comprehensive analysis of 18 included articles, the difference in total effective rate between distal point selection and local point selection was not statistically significant, i.e. the curative effect of distal point selection and local point selection was equivalent [OR=0.83,95%CI(0.83,1.18), Z=1.04, P0.01]. According to the comprehensive analysis of 20 included articles, the difference in total effective rate between local point selection and distal-local point selection was statistically significant, and the results indicated that the curative effect of distal-local point selection was superior to that of local point selection [OR=0.32, 95%CI(0.23,0.44), Z=6.90, P0.01]. According to the comprehensive analysis of 8 included articles, the difference in total effective rate between distal point selection and distal-local point selection was statistically significant, and the results indicated that the curative effect of distal-local point selection was superior to that of distal point selection [OR=0.20,95%CI(0.10,0.40), Z=4.50, P0.01]. In addition, the analysis of publication bias of this study indicated that publication bias might exist. Since the quality of included articles was generally lower, the above conclusion still needed to be supported by more evidence-based medicine proofs with high quality. Conclusion: The curative effect of distal-local point combination was superior to that of simple distal point selection or local point selection during acupuncture treatment for diseases, and there was no obvious difference in the curative effect between simple distal point selection and local point selection.展开更多

According to acupoint selection along facial nerve trunk initially created by professor Gao Wei-bin, Yifeng(翳风TE 17), Shangguan(上关GB 3) Sizhukong(丝竹空 TE 23),temporal branches, Xiaguan(下关 ST 7) Sibai(四白 ST 2),zygomatic branches, Qianzheng(牵正)Quanliao(颧髎 SI 18),zygomatic branches, Jiache(颊车 ST 6) Chengjiang(承浆 CV 24),buccal branches, and Hegu(合谷 LI 4). The auricular vagus nerve acupoints was added additionally(two distribution points in each cavity of auricular concha were selected). Electroacupuncture was conducted for30 min/time, once a day, and 6 times/week. One day was free from treatment between 2 weeks. Treatment for 4 weeks was 1 course of treatment, and the effect was observed after 1 course.Results: Cured: 39 cases, markedly effective: 13 cases, effective: 6 cases, ineffective: 3 cases. The cure rate was 65%, and the total effective rate was up to 95.0%.Conclusion: The curative effect of electroacupuncture at facial acupoints combined with electrical stimulation on the auricular vagus nerve points for treatment of chloasma was satisfactory.展开更多
