Clinical Evaluation Of Acupuncture On The Acupoints:FENGCHI(GB20), SHUAIGU(GB8),Etc. For Migraine

Objective:The randomized, controlled, singled blind method was used to observe the long-term effect of acupuncture on the acupoints: FENGCHI(GB20), SHUAIGU(GB8), etc. for migraine, to further conform the specificity of the effect of acupoints.Methods:80qualified cases were randomly divided into group A (acupoint control group), group B (non-acupoint control group) and group C (waiting for treatment group), two treatment groups were treated with Electro-acupuncture30minutes. Each group of acupoints and non acupoints took unilaterally, alternated left and right, acupuncture1times a day,5times for1courses, had2days rest between treatments, a total of4courses of treatment, the study period was28weeks; The MA-points, VAS scores and The headache intensity which were respectively recorded before and after treatment, follow-up4weeks,8weeks,12weeks,16weeks,and20weeks;The SAS scores and SDS scores were respectively recorded before and after treatment.Results:1.The MA-points:compared with before treatment, B group and C group, A group at the end of treatment and each time point of follow-up was obviously significant(P<0.01);compared with before treatment and C group, B group only at the end of treatment was significant(P<0.05).the rest of the time were not statistically significant(P>0.05).2.The VAS scores:compared with before treatment, B group and C group, A group at the end of treatment and each time point of follow-up was obviously significant(P<0.01);compared with before treatment and C group, B group only at the end of treatment was significant(P<0.05),the rest of the time were not statistically significant(P>0.05).3.The headache intensity:compared with before treatment, B group and C group, A group at the end of treatment and each time point of follow-up was obviously significant(P<0.01);compared with before treatment and C group, B group only at the end of treatment and follow-up4weeks was significant (P<0.05),the rest of the time were not statistically significant(P>0.05).4.The SAS and SDS scores:compared with before treatment, A group and B group were significant(P<0.05),C group was not statistically significant (P>0.05); compared with after treatment between three groups, A group and B group were not statistically significant(P>0.05);B group and C group were obviously significant(P<0.01);A group and C group were obviously significant (P<0.01).Conclusion:1.The clinical efficacy of acupuncture on the acupoints:FENGCHI(GB20), SHUAIGU(GB8),etc. for migraine is significant, the long-term effect is curative.2.It further proves that effect of acupoints have validity regularity, persistent regularity, specific regularity through acupuncture on the acupoints:FENGCHI (GB20), SHUAIGU(GB8),etc. for migraine.
