ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of paired needling plus tuina in treating small breast disease.MethodBy following the randomized controlled method, 60 patients with small breast disease were divided into a treatment group (intervened by paired needling plus tuina) of 30 cases and a control group (intervened by treatment device for mammary glands) of 30 cases, 15 sessions as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total. The chest circumference was used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy.Result There was no significant inter-group difference in comparing the chest circumference after the first treatment course(P>0.05), while the difference was statistically significant after 2 treatment courses(P<0.05).ConclusionPaired needling plus seven-step tuina can produce a significant stable long-standing therapeutic efficacy in treating small breast disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the clinical effects of simple obesity treated with abdomen acupuncture. Methods: Sixty patients with simple obesity were allocated to abdomen acupuncture group and body acupuncture group based on the randomized and controlled principle, 30 patients in each group. Fifteen treatments made up one course. The cases were treated for 2 courses. The clinical effects were evaluated by body mass index (BMI) and the declining of body height. Result: The change of BMI and clinical effects were of no significant difference between two groups after 1 course, but there were significant differences after two courses. Conclusion: The clinical effect of abdomen acupuncture treating simple obesity is better, and the effect is persistent and stable.
