Résumé
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of thermal electroacupuncture therapy in treating lumbodorsal myofascitis. Method Sixty-two patients with lumbodorsal myofascitis were randomized into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 32 cases. The treatment group was intervened by thermal electroacupuncture therapy, while the control group was by orally taking Meloxicam tablets. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 100.0% in the treatment group versus 78.1% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS scores were significantly changed after treatment in both groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Thermal electroacupuncture therapy is an effective approach in treating lumbodorsal myofascitis.
Résumé
Objective: To investigate the intervention effect of electroacupuncture on post-withdrawal anxiety and depression of those with heroin dependence. Method: One hundred and twenty heroin dependence cases were randomly allocated into 4 groups, including acupuncture group 1 using Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points and Shenshu (BL 23), acupuncture group 2 using points in the four limbs, simulation and control groups. Then the SAS and SDS changes were observed before the treatment and 4th, 8th and 10th week after. Result: At the 4th, 8th and 10th week, the SAS and SDS scores in acupuncture group 1 and 2 showed significant differences with the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). There were significant differences between SAS changes in acupuncture group 1 and 2 but there was no significant difference in SDS changes. Conclusion:Electroacupuncture can improve the post-withdrawal anxiety and depression in heroin addicts.Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points showed significantly better effects in improving anxiety than points in four limbs but no significant difference in improving depression.
Résumé
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of treating herniation of lumbar intervertebral disc with electroacupuncture on Jiaji(Ex-B 2) points plus 3-D traction. Methods: To allocate 90 cases randomly into three groups and adopt therapies of 3-D traction, electroacupuncture on Jiaji(Ex-B 2) points and comprehensive method (combination of electroacupuncture on Jiaji(Ex-B 2) points and 3-D traction) and then compare the pre-treatment and post-treatment result with scores of clinical symptoms and clinical efficacy. Results: After 4-week treatment, the group of comprehensive therapy showed better effect than the other two groups. Conclusions:Electroacupuncture on Jiaji(Ex-B 2) points plus 3-D traction has positive effect on herniation of lumbar intervertebral disc.
