Clinical Application On Treatment Of Depression By Electro Acupuncture With Different Needle-retaining Time

Objective:To observe the clinical application on treatment of depression by electro acupuncture with Different Needle-retaining Time, assessment of clinical effect of different needle tetaining time, in order to provide a reference on treatment of depression with acupuncture for clinical.Method:The86patients were divided into depression medication group of30patients (SSRIs alone medication treatment),30min acupuncture treatment group of29cases (electroacupuncture combined with SSRIs medications),45min acupuncture treatment group of27cases (electroacupuncture combined with SSRIs medications). Three groups were observed HAMD scale total score, SDS score, SERS score before and after treatment and1,2,4,6weeks.Result:(1) The total effective rate of medication,30min and45min were83.3%,89.7%and88.9%. By Rank test,30min and45min were significantly different compared with the medication group (P <0.01), while there was no significant difference between30min and45min.(2) HAMD score:By T test, the HAMD total score of each group was statistically significant differences before treatment after treatment(P<0.01). By AN OVA test, the30min and45min group had significant differences with medication group after one week treatment, continuing the end of treatment. But30min and45min showed no significant differences(P>0.05).(3) HAMD factor scores:By ANOVA test,there were significant differences between30min and45min in the aspect of somatization symptoms, sleep disorders and arrest(P<0.05). The30min and45min showed difference with medication group in the first week(P<0.05).(4) SDS total scores:The SDS total scores of30min and45min were less than medication group after the first week(P<0.05, P<0.01), while there was no significant difference between30min and45min(P>0.05).(5) SERS total scores:After the second week, the30min and45min showed difference with medication group(P<0.01), and there was no difference between30min and45min(P>0.05).Coclusion:(1) Acupuncture-medication combination is superior to medication solely on treatment of depression; (2) There is no significant difference between30min retaining time of45min retaining time;(3)45min retaining time is better than30min retaining time in improving some factors.
