ABSTRACT
Delayed healing of abdominal postoperative incision was treated with moxibustion plus warm acupuncture. After routine manipulation, 30 cases were treated with moxibustion with two lighted moxa sticks over the incision. Meanwhile, bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) were selected to insert perpendicularly by filiform needles of 40 mm in length. After arrival of qi, moxibustion with warming needle was given. Thirty-four patients were treated by the surgical routine manipulations. After 2 courses of treatment, the effective rates were 100% and 70.6% respectively.
ABSTRACT
To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of the subluxation of the small joints of the cervical vertebrae by acupuncture plus Tuina, 178 subjects were divided randomly into acupuncture group, Tuina group and acupuncture plus Tuina group to receive the corresponding treatment. The cure rate in acupuncture plus Tuina was 68.8%, which is higher than that in acupuncture group (27.8%) and that in Tuina group(28.6%), and the statistical management showed significant differences. Acupuncture combined with Tuina could enhance the therapeutic effect in the treatment of the subluxation of the small joints of the cervical vertebrae.
