Methods A total of 60 patients with depression were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 30 cases each. The treatment group was treated with warming needle technique on the Jiaji points of the heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney, control group with Amitriptyline, HAMD scale and the qualitative change of EEG-α wave were observed before and after the treatment. Results The total effective rate of treatment group was 100%, much better than that of the control group with 80% (P<0.05); the HAMD scale of treatment group was better than that of control group (P<0.05); the comparison of the improvement of somatic symptoms between treatment group and control group was significant (P<0.05); the comparison of frequency and amplitude of EEG-α wave was significant (P<0.05), there was no toxic and side effect in the treatment group. Conclusion Warming needling technique for depression has better effect than Amitriptyline, and there was no toxic and side effect in the treatment group. Warming needle technique can effectively regulate the frequency and amplitude EEG-α wave, and acts to improve depressive condition.展开更多

Methods One hundred and thirty cases were randomly divided into an point injection group and an medication group, 65 cases in each one. In point injection group, according to the invasion site of herpes zoster, Jiiaji (夹脊 EX-B 2) of corresponding segments and the meridian points on skin lesion areas, such as Fengchi (风池GB 20), Tianzhu (天柱 BL 10), Feishu (肺俞 BL 13) and Geguan (膈关 BL 46) were selected and injected with the mixed solution of compound Betamethasone (administered only in the first injection), Vitamin B12 and Lidoeaine Carbonate, 2 mL on each point, once per day. In medication group, Diclofenac Sodium sustained release tablets, 75 mg were administered, twice per day. The clinical efficacy was compared 10 days later between two groups. Results The total effective rate in point injection group was 100.0% (65/65), which was better than 66.1% (43/65) in medication group (P〈0.01). Conclusion Point injection mainly at Jiiaji (夹脊 EX-B 2) is effective significantly on intractable PHN in the trunk, which is superior to Diclofenac Sodium sustained release tablets.展开更多

Methods According to the random number table, 150 cases of cervical spondylosis of nerve root type were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group (75 cases) and a control group (75 cases). In the acupuncture-moxibustion group, the warm needling at EX-B 2 and tapping with plum-blossom needle were applied. EX-B 2 on the affected segments were selected and stimulated with warm needling technique for 20– 30 min. Afterward, the plum-blossom needle was used to tap the skin around the acupoints, for 3 min on each site. The treatment was given once every day. Seven treatments made one session. The interval between two sessions was 1 day. In the control group, the medication was used in combination with traction therapy. The intravenous drip with 5% glucose 250 mL and compound salvia miltiorrhiza injection 40 mL was used, once a day. In traction treatment, the patient was in a sitting position, neck anteflexion at 15°–30°, traction force at 10%–20% of the body mass, for 20–30 min in each time. The treatment was given once every day. The appointed person evaluated therapeutic effects after the three sessions of treatment in the two groups. Results The clinical curative rate was 49.3% (37/75) and the total effective rate was 94.7% (71/75) in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and those were 24.0% (18/75) and 81.3% (61/75) respectively in the control group. The total effective rate and clinical curative rate in the acupuncture-moxibustion group were superior to the control group (both P0.05). In the comparison of the duration of treatment and effect in the cured patients between the two groups, the curative rate in the 1st session of treatment in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was higher than that in the control group (P0.05). In the comparison of the 6-month follow-up visit in the cured patients between the two groups, the effect in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was much more stable (P0.05). Conclusion The warm needling therapy at EX-B 2 and tapping therapy with plum-blossom needle achieve the significant effect on cervical spondylosis of nerve root type.展开更多

The patients in the EX-B2 group received EA at the symmetrical 2 acupoints of the bilateral EX-B2 on the lesion part. The patients in the conventional acupoints group received EA at the tender point of the lesion part, Zhibian( 秩边BL54), Huantiao(环跳 GB30),weǐzhōng(委中BL40), Chéngshān(承山BL57) and Fúyáng(跗阳BL59) on the affected side. The retain time of the needles is both 45 min. The treatment of the two groups is 3 times a week and for a connective 20 times. The modified Assessment Criteria for Low Lumbar Pain of Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA),Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) were evaluated before and after the treatment and at the 6-month follow up.Results:(1) Effective outcomes. JOA score: The JOA score of the patients in the EX-B2 group after treatment was(20.89 士 3.43), and was(19.35 ±4.02) on the follow-up. Compared with the JOA score(12.35 ±4.42) in the same group before the treatment, there were statistical significant higher(both P0.05). The JOA score in the EX-B2 group after treatment and on the follow-up were both higher than that of the conventional acupoints group at the same time point(both P0.05). VAS score: The VAS score of the patients in the EX-B2 group on the 24 h after the first treatment was(4.09 ± 1.81), and was(2.11 ± 1.30) after the treatment. Compared with the VAS score(4.09 ± 1.81) in the same group before the treatment, there were statistical significant lower(both P0.05). The VAS score in the EX-B2 group on the 24 h after the first treatment and after treatment showed no statistical differences than that of the conventional acupoints group at the same time point(both P0.05).(2)Related results from data mining: The middle-aged people and disease duration less than six months, their effect of the immediate treatment was the best. According to JOA score, EA at EX-B2 was better than EA conventional acupoints,either in the process of treatment effect, or in pertinence of the treatment, which were superior to EA conventional acupoints therapy; The best curative effect time of EA at EX-B2 was the first treatment after24 h, and the best curative effect of the conventional acupoints was after the first treatment. The age and disease duration also affected curative effect.Conclusion: The effect of EA at EX-B2 was superior to the conventional acupoints in treating LIDH.展开更多
