Methods: A total of 68 cases of scapulohumeral periarthritis were outpatients and were randomized into treatment group (n=36) and control group (n=32). In treatment group, Zhiyin (BL 67), Jinmen (BL 63) and Yanglao (SI 6) on the contralateral side of the affected shoulder and local tenderpoints (Ashi-points) were punctured once every other day, with 7 days being a therapeutic course; while in control group, local Ashi-points were used for injection of Procaine and Prednisolone Acetate, once every 7 days and with 3～4 sessions being a therapeutic course. Results: Following 2 courses of treatment, of the 32 cases in control group, 8 (25.0%) were cured, 17 (53.1%) experienced improvement and 7 failed in the treatment, with a total of effective rate of 78.1%; of the 36 cases in treatment group, 18 (50.0%) were cured, 16 (44.4%) experienced improvement and 2 (5.6%) failed in the treatment, with a total effective rate of 94.4%. The therapeutic effect of contralateral needling is significantly higher than that of Ashi-point blocking method (P<0.05). Conclusion: Contralateral needling is superior to Ashi-point in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis.展开更多

Methods One hundred and thirty cases were randomly divided into contralateral needling group and routine acupuncture group, 65 cases in each one. In contralateral needling group, contralateral needling technique was adopted on the acupoints on the opposite side corresponding to the affected face in neuralgia. According to the localization of trigeminal neuralgia, the points were selected. For example, for ophthalmologic branch, Yuyao （鱼腰 EX- HN 4） and Touwei （头维 ST 8） were selected as the main point. In routine acupuncture group, the corresponding acupoints were selected on the affected side of the face. The points were same as that in contralateral needling group, Three courses of treatment were required in two groups. The clinical efficacy was evaluated 4 weeks after the end of treatment. Results The total effective rate was 95.4% （62/65） in contralateral needling group, which was superior to that in routine acupuncture group E86.2% （56/65）1 （P〈0. 001）. Conclusion Contralateral needling technique achieves apparently superior effects on primary trigeminal neuralgia compared with routine acupuncture.展开更多

Methods： A treatment group of 121 patients was treated with acupuncture under an individualized plan based on the condition of disease. For a control study, 118 patients were treated with conventional acupuncture. The courses of treatment and the curative effects were compared. Results： The cure and marked efficacy rate was 90.9% in the treatment group and 69.5% in the control group. There was a significant difference （P〈0.01）. There was also a significant difference in the cure and marked efficacy rate in each courses of treatment between the two groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Individualized acupuncture treatment is better in the effect and shorter in the courses than conventional acupuncture treatment for peripheral facial paralysis.展开更多
