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
文摘目的 观察头穴丛刺长留针法治疗偏头痛的临床疗效。方法 将88例偏头痛患者随机分为观察组(44例,脱落2例)和对照组(44例,脱落3例)。观察组采用常规针刺联合头穴丛刺长留针法治疗,对照组采用常规针刺方法治疗。比较两组临床疗效,观察两组治疗前后的视觉模拟量表(visual analog scale, VAS)评分、偏头痛特异性生活质量问卷(migraine-specific quality of life questionnaire, MSQ)、血清5-羟色胺(5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)浓度。结果 观察组总有效率为92.9%,高于对照组的78.0%,差异有统计学意义(P>0.05)。两组治疗后VAS评分较治疗前降低(P<0.05),两组随访时VAS评分较治疗前和治疗后降低(P<0.05);观察组治疗后及随访时,VAS评分均低于对照组(P<0.05)。两组治疗后MSQ评分较治疗前升高(P<0.05),两组随访时MSQ评分较治疗前和治疗后升高(P<0.05);观察组治疗后及随访时,MSQ评分均高于对照组(P<0.05)。两组治疗后血清5-HT浓度均升高,且观察组高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 在常规针刺基础上,头穴丛刺长留针法治疗偏头痛临床疗效优于常规针刺方法,且在减轻偏头痛患者疼痛程度,改善其生活质量及提高5-HT浓度方面优于常规针刺方法。
