They were respectively treated based on differentiation of symptoms and signs for less than 10 sessions, and their therapeutic effects were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The therapeutic effects on primary excess syndrome of intractable hiccup in the two groups were superior to that secondary deficiency syndrome (both P < 0.05); there was no significant difference between the two groups in the therapeutic effect (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Acupuncture at Tianding (LI 17) is a convenient method for hiccup with a definite therapeutic effect.</p>
