ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus auricular plaster therapy for treating migraine. Methods: One hundred and fifty migraine patients were randomly allocated to an observation group (n=90) and a control group (n=60). The observation group were treated by acupuncture plus auricular plaster therapy based on syndrome differentiation and the control group, by oral administration of Flunarizine. The curative effects were compared between the two groups. Results: The total efficacy rate was 94.4% in the observation group and higher than in the control group (73.3%). The recovery rate was 87.8% in the observation group and higher than in the control group (55.0%). There were significant differences between the two groups (both P＜0.01). The curative effect was significantly better in the observation group than in the control group. Conclusion: Clinically, acupuncture plus auricular plaster therapy based on syndrome differentiation has a good effect on migraine.
ABSTRACT
