At the 8th weekend of treatment, the scores of CIAS, FAD, HAMA+ HAMD in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(t=3.301, 2.985, 10.825, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of side effects between the two groups(all P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Acupuncture and moxibustion is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with internet addiction disorder.
