ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of midnight-noon ebb-flow day-prescription of acupoints on biliary colic. Methods: 60 cases with biliary colic were randomized into two groups, 30 cases in each group. Day-prescription of five transport points was employed in the treatment group, while point selection based on pattern identification was employed in the control group. Results: The pain-killing rates between the two groups had no statistical differences (P>0.05). Conclusion: Day-prescription of acupoints can obtain similar pain-killing effect with point selection based on pattern identification, but with less points and treatments.
