| Objective:This study used acupuncture at "ding hui" point,"hei bai ji" point,"ba da gan" point and "xin" point combined with the method of cupping on the navel to treat depression.Through "Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)" and " Depression SelfRating Scale(SDS)",to observe the data changes for symptoms of patients before and after treatment such as anxiety/ somatization,weight,sleep disorders,block,cognitive impairment,day-and-night changes and feelings of despair to explore its impact on depression,summarize its clinical efficacy,by improving depression patients mood,sleep and systemic symptoms,to improve the depression patients quality of life for the purpose.Methods:A total of 60 patients with depression were randomly divided into two groups: Treatment Group treated with Umbilical Acupuncture and control group treated with acupuncture.Patients.In the treatment group,the patients were placed on the side,and the acupuncture points were selected as "ding hui" points,"hei bai ji" points,"ba da gan" points and "xin" points,and the points were regularly disinfected.The Oblique needling was performed at 45 degrees on each point,the depth of oblique needling was 20-30 mm,and the navel point was selected as the cupping point(diameter was 70 mm),the duration of treatment was 30 minutes(30 minutes for Navel cupping without blisters).The other nine times were the same as the first time according to the condition.In the control group,the patients were placed on the side and theacupuncture points were selected as s "ding hui" points,"hei bai ji" points,"ba da gan" points and "xin" points.Both groups were treated once every other day,three times a week,10 times for a course of treatment,a course of treatment.Antidepressant and sedative drugs should not be used during treatment.Both groups were assessed with Hamilton Depression scale 24(HAMD)and self-rating depression scale(SDS)before and after treatment to assess depression improvement.SPSS22.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results:1.After treatment,the factors and total scores of Hamd in treatment group were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(p < 0.05).The results showed that the patients' anxiety / somatization,weight,sleep disorder,block,cognitive disorder,day and night changes,despair and other symptoms and general condition were improved obviously.After treatment,the total score of SDS in the treatment group was significantly different from that before treatment(p < 0.05),which indicated that the patients thought that the combined therapy of navel therapy and acupuncture had obvious effect on depression.2.After treatment,the anxiety / somatization,sleep disturbance,block,cognitive disturbance,day and night change,despair and total score of Hamd in the control group were significantly different from those before treatment(p < 0.05).There was no significant difference in body weight between the patients after treatment and before treatment(p > 0.05).The SDS depression self-rating scale of the control group after treatment was significantly different from that before treatment(p < 0.05).3.After treatment,there was significant difference between the two groups in cognitive impairment and despair on Hamd(p < 0.05).There were no significant differences in anxiety / somatization,weight,sleep disturbance,block,day and night changes and total score(p > 0.05).It indicates that the curative effect of Navel therapy combined with acupuncture is more obvious than that of acupuncture.Umbilical cord therapy can also significantly improve patients with cognitive impairment,despair and other symptoms.Navel therapy also had some effect on anxiety / somatization,weight,day and night changes,block,sleep disturbance and general condition.After treatment,the total score of SDS self-rating depression scale was significantly different between the two groups(p < 0.05).It indicates that the patients believe that umbilical therapy combined with acupuncture can significantly improve the symptoms of depression.4.The total effective rate of HAMD and SDS depression self-rating scale was significantly different between the two groups(p < 0.05).Conclusion: 1.The combination of traditional Mongolian medicine and umbilicus therapy and acupuncture can significantly improve the symptoms of depression,such as anxiety / somatization,weight,sleep disturbance,block,cognitive disturbance,day and night change and despair.It indicates that Navel therapy combined with acupuncture has significant effect on depression.2.The treatment of depression with the combination of traditional Mongolian medicine and Navel therapy and acupuncture can regulate the physiology,improve the circulation of Qi and

addition umbilical therapy can effectively improve patients with cognitive impairment,despair,feelings of inferiority and other symptoms.Navel therapy can also improve patients' anxiety / somatization,body weight,day and night change,block,sleep disorder and general condition.3.The combination of traditional Mongolian medicine and UMBILICUS therapy with acupuncture therapy in the treatment of depression is effective,simple,nontoxic and safe,and provides a new idea for the treatment of depression. |
