Main acupoints used are Shuigou (GV 26), Fengchi (GB 20), Lianquan (CV 23) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), while otopoints used are Xin (MA IC), Gan (MA SC 5), Pi (MA IC), Shen (MA SC), Yanhou (MA T 3) and She (MA L). Following one course of treatment (12 sessions), in treatment group, of the 63 cases, 34 (54.0%) are cured, 18 (28.5%) have remarkable improvement, 5 (8.0%) have improvement, and 6 ( 9.0%) have no apparent changes, with the tottal effective rate being 90.5%; while in control group, of the 63 cases, 18 (28.5%) are cured, 11 (17.5%) have marked amelioration, 15 ( 24.0%) experience apparent amelioration and 19 (30.0%) have no obvious changes, with a total effective rate of 70.0%. The therapeutic effect of otopoint pellet pressing plus body acupuncture is significantly superior to that of simple body acupuncture in the treatment of dysphagia and water drinking induced coughing.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
