ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of scalp acupuncture plus acupuncture at Jiaji points (EX-B 2) in treating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).Method Seventy CFS patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by scalp acupuncture plus acupuncture at Jiaji points (EX-B 2), while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. The Fatigue Scale (FS)-14 was observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The FS-14 scores were significantly changed after treatment in both groups (P<0.01). After treatment, the FS-14 score of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate and recovery-markedly-effective rate were respectively 91.4% and 71.4% in the treatment group, versus 82.9% and 45.7% in the control group. There was a significant difference in comparing the recovery-markedly-effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Scalp acupuncture plus acupuncture at Jiaji points (EX-B 2) is an effective method in treating CFS.
