The therapeutic method was acupuncture of Jiaji（Ex-B 2） on the affected segment and the upper and lower vertebrae close together. After the arrival of qi, the needles were connected to acupuncture therapeutic instrument. Meanwhile, the numb, heavy and uncomfortable area on the shoulder and upper limb, where something like cord could be touched, was selected as Ashi point. The needle was inserted perpendicularly into the skin on the place that the cord was most obvious and inserted obliquely and deeply along the cord. After 3 4 courses of treatment, 90 cases got marked effectiveness and 10 cases got effectiveness.展开更多

Methods: A total of 120 cases were allocated into an observation group, a warm needling group and an acupoint sticking group according to the random number table, with 40 cases in each group. Cases in the observation group received warm needling moxibustion plus acupoint sticking therapy;cases in the warm needling group received the same warm needling moxibustion in the observation group;cases in the acupoint sticking group received the same acupoint sticking therapy in the observation group. The scores of Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) and visual analog scale (VAS) were recorded before and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 95.0% in the observation group, versus 77.5% in the warm needling group and 75.0% in the acupoint sticking group (both P<0.05). Inter-group differences in JOA and VAS between the observation group and the other two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Warm needling moxibustion plus acupoint sticking therapy is effective in treating cervical radiculopathy, and it can significantly alleviate pain and enhance clinical efficacy, and thus is worth clinical popularization.展开更多

Methods： Fifty patients with confirmed diagnosis of migraine were intervened by using nape cluster acupuncture, and were evaluated at the outset and after 2-month treatment by the short-form of McGill pain questionnaire （SP-MPQ） and self-rating depression scale （SDS）. Results： After treatment, the number of positive words, sensory pain rating index （S-PRI）, affective pain rating index （A-PRI）, total pain rating index （T-PRI）, visual analogue scale （VAS）, and present pain intensity （PPI） were significantly changed （P〈0.01）; the SDS score was （56.42＋8.12） points before treatment versus （41.08＋5.73） points after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant （P〈0.01）. The total effective rate was 86.0%; the therapeutic efficacy of the patients with a shorter disease duration was superior to that of the patients with a longer one （P〈0.05）; the efficacy of mild-moderate migraine was superior to that of severe one （P〈0.01）; the total effective rate of patients without depression was higher than that with depression, but without a significant difference in comparing the therapeutic efficacy （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Nape cluster acupuncture is effective in treating migraine, significantly improving headache and depression.展开更多
