| ObjectiveThis study compares the effect differences between Epigastric Twelve Needles in the treatment and conventional acupuncture treatment of Gastralgia caused by Hepatic Stasis, and through theoretical and clinical researches on two aspects to discuss the main Twelve Needles in the treatment of Gastralgia caused by Hepatic Stasis.MethodsThe60selected cases of eligible subjects are randomly divided into the treatment group of30cases and the control group of30cases. The treatment group:treatment by Epigastric Twelve Needles (Shangwan, Zhongwan, Xiawan, the double Zusanli, Qihai, the double Tianshu, the double Neiguan, the double Sanyinjiao). Control group:treatment refered to the textbook—《Acupuncture and Moxibustion》 published by the China Press of traditional Chinese medicine in2002(the double Zusanli, the double Neiguan, Zhongwan, the double Taichong, the double Pishu, the double Qimen, Qihai).All the subjects are treated by acupuncture in the every morning. Plug the needles into the skin vertically, and then get gas by referring to the textbook—《Acupuncture and Moxibustion》 published in2002with moderate stimulation lifting and thrusting twirling. Connect with the electroacupuncture instrument by the type of G6805-1and use continuous wave50-100Hz with the strength degree toleranced to patients. We can do it every day for once from Monday to Friday. On Saturday and Sunday we have a break. Every treatment retains needles in20minutes and10times are a course to observe the curative effect. The two groups are recorded each outcome measure data before the treatment or the treatment in the first3days a week and a course of the treatment (2weeks) in order to to observe the effect of scoring. Follow the patients who are on the treatment after a course of15days to understand the efficacy persistence.ResultsThe effective rate of treatment group is86.67%and the effective rate of control group is63.33%.Two groups have obviously differences (P<0.05). The treatment group is superior to the control group. On two groups of patients before and after treatment, clinical symptoms and seizure frequency score, two groups of their own compared before and after treatment are statistically significant (P<0.01). After the treatment between two groups (P<0.01), effect of the treatment group is superior to control group. Seizure frequency overall analysis, the effects of treatment group are better than the control group.ConelusionEpigastric Twelve Needles for treatment of Gastralgia caused by Hepatic Stasis, with some clinical effectiveness, and worthy of popularization. |
