A Clinical Observation Of The Treatment On Migraine With Origin-Analogue Pricking Method

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of origin-analogue(Tongqixiangqiu)pricking method on treating migraine by comparing with common pricking method.To discuss the therapy mechanism of origin-analogue(Tongqixiangqiu)pricking method in Chinese medicine so as to broaden the treatment formulae in medical therapy.MethodTo divide 60 patients with migraine randomly into experimental group and control group according as the inclusion criteria of this research require.The 30 patients of experimental group receive treatment with origin-analogue pricking method(Zhongzhu(SJ3)and Zulinqi(GB41)of the healthy side be treated)and the other 30 of control group receive general method(Jiaosun(SJ20),Fengchi(GB20),Sizhukong(SJ23),Taiyang(EX-HN5)and Waiguan(SJ5)of both sides and Ashi point be treated).As for the therapy group,patients will receive acupuncture on Zhongzhu(SJ3)and Zulinqi(GB41)points at the healthy side;while for experiment group,patients will receive acupuncture at both sides on points of Jiaosun(SJ20),Shuaigu(GB8),Fengchi(GB20),Sizhukong(SJ23),Taiyang(EX-HN5),Waiguan(SJ5)and the Ashi point.All patients receive treatment once per day and totally 5 times per week.Every therapy course covers 5 times of treatment.Before and after 2 consecutive therapy courses,collect the indicators of all patients,including score of VAS,score of MSQ and score of symptom scorecard,and analyze them with the software SPSS24.00.ResultsBefore the treatment,the baseline data of the patients between the two groups,including gender,age,disease duration,score of VAS,MSQ and symptom scorecard,show no signi ficant difference(P>0.05)based on statistical analysis and thus is comparable.After 2 therapy courses,the in-group statistical analysis of the data of the two groups including score of VAS,score of MSQ,score of symptom scorecard and total score of each patient,show a significant difference(P<0.05).The score of VAS,score of symptom scorecard and total score lower after the treatment,while scores in MSQ increase.After 2 therapy courses,the comparison between the two groups as in indicators including score of VAS,score of MSQ,score of each item in symptom scorecard,total score and the difference of VAS,MSQ,symptom scorecard and total score compared to scores before treatment,show no significant difference(P>0.05).After 2 therapy courses of experimental group,the total effective rate is 80%,with 4 recovered cases,2 markedly effective cases,18 effective cases and 6 cases with no effect;of control group,the total effective rate is 76.67%,with 5 recovered cases,1 markedly effective case,17 effective cases and 7 cases with no effect.The statistical analysis of the two groups show no significant difference(P>0.05).ConclusionOrigin-Analogue(Tongqixiangqiu)pricking method and general pricking method show a solid effect in treating migraine pain.The two groups present a similar effect in lowering the degree,frequency,duration,accompanied symptoms and other clinical symptoms of migraine pain and show no significant difference in clinical effect.Therefore,the origin-analogue(Tongqixiangqiu)pricking method serves as one of the effective means to treat migraine that worth wide application.
