ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of acupuncture therapy of She medicine on cerebral hemodynamics in migraine patients, and to further verify its therapeutic efficacy and preliminarily reveal the action mechanism in treating migraine. Method 120 Eligible subjects were randomized into two groups. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture of She medicine, while the control group was intervened by Western medication, 10 d as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total at a 2-day interval. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) was adopted to observe the average blood flow velocity of cerebral arteries before and after the treatment. Result The total effective rate was 82.8% in the treatment group versus 71.4% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) by rank-sum test. Before the treatment, the abnormity rate of cerebral artery blood flow was 62.8% in the treatment group versus 61.9% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05), indicating the comparability; after the treatment, the abnormity rate of cerebral artery blood flow was 25.9% in the treatment group versus 35.3% in the control group, and the between-group was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture of She medicine is effective in treating migraine, and it can significantly improve the cerebral hemodynamics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of She medicine therapy in rehabilitation after endoscopic surgery for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.Methods Sixty patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were allocated, using random number table method following registration order, to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received She medicine therapy and the control group, oral administration of conventional drugs. The excellent and good rate was observed in the two groups after treatment. Post-treatment active straight leg raising times and analgesic dosages were compared between the two groups.Results Active straight leg raising time was significantly advanced (P<0.01) and the number of potent analgesic uses was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the treatment group after endoscopic surgery for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. The excellent and good rate was 93.3％ in the treatment group and 80.0％ in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion She medicine therapy can help rapid rehabilitation after endoscopic surgery for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.
