ABSTRACT
@#Objective To study the clinical efficacy of wrist-ankle acupuncture on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after work-related injury. Methods 62 patients were divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=32). The observation group accepted wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with Paroxetine, and the control group accepted Paroxetine only. They were assessed with Clinical Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) before, 6 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. Results The scores of CAPS, HAMD and HAMA reduced in both groups (P<0.01) after treatment, and the reduction rate was greater in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Wrist-ankle acupuncture may further relieve PTSD after work-related injury
