Points supplemented according to symptoms: Weizhong(BL 40) is supplemented for lumbar vertebra hypertrophy spondylitis; Weizhong (BL 40) and Kunlun(BL 60) supplemented for acute lumbar muscle sprain; Zhibian (BL 54), Huantiao (GB 30) and Ahshi points supplemented for nervi cluniam superior inflammation, and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Mingmen(GV 4) supplemented for impotence. Gauge 28 2 cun long needles are used. The needles are inserted perpendicularly into Shenshu(BL 23), Dachengshu(BL 25) and Ciliao(BL 32) to a depth of about 1.2～1.5 cun. Other supplementary points are needled and stimulated with routine manipulations, generally the reducing method is used for excess syndrome, and the reinforcing method applied to deficiency syndrome. The author, on the basis of many years of clinical practice, considers that “lumbar three point needling” is fairly effective in treating lumbosacral diseases.展开更多

Method： Sixty IBS cases were randomized into a treatment or control group by single-blind method. Warming needles on Tianshu （ST 25） and Dachangshu （BL 25） combined with patented Chinese medicine were adopted for cases in the treatment group, whereas the patented Chinese medicine alone was adopted in the control group. Results： The therapeutic efficacies in the two groups did not show substantial differences. The main symptoms were significantly improved after the treatment （P〈0.01）. After 2 weeks of treatment, the cases in the treatment group obtained a better improvement than the control group （P〈0.01, P〈0.05） in the severity or frequency of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, restlessness, insomnia, anxiety, suspiciousness, and loose stools with a sense of incomplete emptying. The patient＇s quality of life was improved in both groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Both treatment methods could improve the clinical symptoms and increase the patient＇s quality of life. The total effective rate in the treatment group was slightly higher than the control group. Also, the combined warming needle and Chinese herbs could improve the main symptoms in a faster way.展开更多

Mild moxibustion scale was used to count the score.Results： Warm was the main moxibustion sensation, burning pain and soreness decreased with the rise of distance; for the same acupoint, score of mild moxibustion scale increased with the decrease of distance; score ranged between 5.5 and 6.5at distance 3 cm, which was the most comfortable distance for volunteers.Conclusion： The distance of 3 cm is the most comfortable distance in mild moxibustion.展开更多
