The patients were instructed to press the stuck seed twice a day for 3 to 5 minutes each time. Auricular acupoints of both sides were used alternately every 2 days. The electric acupuncture was applied at Zusanli points about 30 minutes each time every other day. Ten times (i. e. 20 days) make one course of treatment and the routine treatment consists of 1 to 2 courses. The results showed that all the patients were cured, patients with Shi Mi (the constipation of excess type) were cured after one course of treatrnent while Xu Mi (the constipation of deficiency type) were cured after two courses. The study suggests that this kind of treatment is an ideal therapy for functional constipation. The pathogenesis and mechanism of treatment of auricular acupuncture pressing associated with acupuncture at Zusanli point for constipation are discussed.展开更多

Methods： A total of 180 chloasma patients were randomly assigned to three groups, 60 cases in each. Patients in the ear- acupuncture （EA） group were treated with ear-acupoint pressing combined with Ear Apex（HX6,7） bloodletting; vitamins C and E were put into practice in the Western medicine （WM） group together with 0.025% tretinoin cream for local external application; patients in the placebo group were treated with urea-cream by external use, while 30 healthy volunteers were in the control group. After a treatment course of 2 months, the changes of haemorheology, injury skin area, colour score and symptom score before and after the treatment were observed. Results： There was no significant difference on whole blood reduced viscosity （high shear, medium shear, and low shear）, erythrocyte aggregation index, hematocrit, plasma viscosity among the four groups （F=2.65, P〉0.05）. Compared with those before treatment, the whole blood viscosity （high shear） and whole blood reduced viscosity （high shear） after treatment in the EA group, the WM group and the placebo group were with no statistical significance （P〉0.05）. The injury skin area and colour score after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in the EA group and the WM group （P〈0.05）, while there was no significant difference in placebo group （P〉0.05）. Clinical symptoms of the EA group were obviously improved after the 2-month treatment, which was significantly different compared with those before treatment （P〈0.05）, there was significant difference compared with those of WM group and placebo group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： There was no significant difference on haemorheology index between healthy people and chloasma patients without angionosis, cerebrovascular disease, hematopathy, metabolic disease or any other organic disease. Ear-acupoint pressing combined with Ear Apex （HX6,7） bloodletting can effectively improve concurrent symptoms, lighten chloasma and lower chloasma area in patients accompanied by Gan depression.展开更多

Methods: A total of 198 cases of insomnia patients were observed. Straight inserted the filiform needles into Shenmen (HT 7), Neiguan (PC 6), Zhaohai (KI 6) and Zusanli (ST 36) and manipulated the needles with uniform reinforcing-reducing method, then otopoints as Ershenmen (MA-TF 1), Shen (MA-SC), Gan (MA-SC 5), etc. were stimulated by pressing the stuck vaccaria seeds. Ten treatments were considered as a therapeutic course. Results: Of the 198 cases, 65 (32%) were cured, 76 (38%) had remarkable improvement, 53 (26%) had improvement and 4 (2%) had no effect, with the total effective rate being 97%. Conclusion: Acupuncture of body acupoints plus otopoint pellet pressing works well in treatment of insomnia.展开更多

Methods: 263 cases of radial keratotomy outpatients were divided into control group (n=49, 90 eyes) and treatment group (n=214, 412 eyes). Patients of control group were treated with 0.5% Chloramphenicol eye drops, 3 times daily, 1-2 drops/time, and with 0.5% Erythromycine eye ointment every night. In treatment group, patients were treated with acupoint and hand reflection area digital pressing method except with the same eye drops and eye ointment. Body acupoints used were Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yuyao (EX HN 4), Sizhukong (TE 23), Sibai (ST 2) and Taiyang (EX HN 5). The hand reflex areas used were Eye Area, Liver Area, Kidney Area, Spleen Area, Heart Area and Lung Area. Five days constituted a therapeutic course. Results: Following 3 courses (15 days) of treatment, the markedly effective rate and total effective rate of treatment group and control group were 74.51% and 38.89%, 94.17% and 66.67% respectively. There was a significant difference between two groups in the total effective rate (P<0.05), showing the therapeutic effect of treatment group being better than that of control group. Conclusion: Acupoint digital pressing is rather effective in treatment of myoporthosis post operation irritable symptoms and signs.展开更多

文摘目的观察耳穴揿针联合栀黄散穴位贴敷对胆石症患者的应用效果。方法将120例患者随机分为A组:耳穴揿针组(40例),B组:穴位贴敷组(40例),C组:联合治疗组(40例)。A组患者在常规西医治疗的基础上加用耳穴揿针治疗,按压4~6次/d,1~3 min/次,5 d 1个疗程,双耳交替操作。B组患者在常规西医治疗的基础上加用栀黄散穴位贴敷,贴敷于双侧胆俞穴、双侧肝俞穴、右侧期门穴、双侧阳陵泉穴,贴敷时间为4~6 h,2次/d,5 d 1个疗程。C组患者在常规西医治疗的基础上联合使用耳穴揿针和栀黄散穴位贴敷治疗。通过疼痛数值评分量表(NRS)比较3组患者治疗后0.5、1、2、24、48 h疼痛评分;治疗前后3组患者C反应蛋白(C-reactive protein,CRP)、胆红素、肝功能(ALT)变化情况;通过B超检查治疗前后胆囊收缩功能、胆囊壁厚度。结果干预后3组患者疼痛评分时间效应值、CRP、胆红素、ALT数值、胆囊壁厚度均低于干预前,胆囊收缩功能较干预前增加,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),A组、B组两组患者干预后疼痛评分时间效应值、CRP、胆红素、ALT数值、胆囊壁厚度、胆囊收缩功能比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。C组患者干预后疼痛评分时间效应值、CRP、胆红素、ALT数值、胆囊壁厚度均低于A、B两组,胆囊收缩功能高于A、B两组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论耳穴揿针和栀黄散穴位贴敷应用于胆石症患者,均可减轻患者的疼痛反应,降低炎症作用,促进肝功能恢复,增强胆囊收缩功能。将两者联合应用,临床疗效更加显著,能够加速患者康复,值得临床推广。
