Method： Upon admission, 71 depression cases were randomized into needle-embedding group of 24 cases, using combined needle-embedding and SSRls, acupuncture group of 21 cases, using combined acupuncture and SSRIs, and medication group of 26 cases, using SSRIs alone. Alter 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks of treatment, the HAMD sleep scores were compared. Result： The HAMD sleep scores in the needle-embedding and acupuncture group were remarkably superior to the medication group and there was significant statistical difference after 1, 2 and 4 weeks of treatment （P〈0.01）. However, there was no statistical difference after 6 weeks of treatment. Conclusion： SSRIs can improve HAMD sleep scores. The combined needle-embedding or acupuncture with SSRIs can work faster and better than medication alone. There was no statistical difference between needle-embedding and acupuncture group, however, needle-embedding can reduce the treatment frequencies and therefore has more active clinical meaning.展开更多

In particular, the immediate anesthetic effect could be obtained by this therapy for some mild joint sprain or strainEv61. Therefore, I started to explore its applications for some difficult and intractable diseases. Now, the examples are given as follows.展开更多

The acupoint selection: Yángbái(阳白 GB 14), Cuánzhú(攒竹 BL2), T6 ngzǐliáo(瞳子髎 GB 1), Sìbái(四白 ST 2), Yingxiāng(迎香 LI 20), Yìfēng(翳风 TE 17) and Fēngchí(风池 GB 20) on the right side, as well as bilateral Hégǔ((合谷 LI 4) and Tàichōng(太冲 LR 3). The quick needling technique was applied to GB 20, LI 4 and LR 3 and the needles were retained for 20 min in the rest acupoints. In the embedding needle therapy, one group of acupoints was selected in each treatment,(Group No.1: BL 2, Sizhúkōng(丝竹空 TE 23), ST 2 and Shàngyíngxiāng(上迎香 EX-HN 8);Group No. 2:Tàiyáng(太阳EX-HN 5), TE 17, LI 20 and GB 14)The embedding needle therapy was provided after the routine acupuncture treatment and the thumb-tack needles were embedded subcutaneously for 48 hours.The treatment with acupuncture was given once every other day. three times a week.Results: After 5 treatments, a full of tears was visible on the right eye when crying. After 10 treatments,there was a large amount of tears on the eyes and nasal discharge when crying. After 15 treatments, the lacrimal secretion and nasal secretion were normal when crying, without differences from the condition before traumatic brain injury.Conclusion: Acupuncture achieves the significant therapeutic effects on alacrimia after the child traumatic brain injury.展开更多
