Abstract：

Objective To compare therapeutic effect of auricular point sticking therapy and western medication on insomnia in the middle-aged patients. Methods Sixty-three middle-aged patients of insomnia were randomly divided into an auricular point sticking group(n=32) and a Diazepam group(n=31). In the auricular point sticking group, auricular point sticking was given at auricular points Gan(liver), Pi(spleen), Shenmen on one side; and in the Diazepam group, 2.5 mg Diazepam was orally administrated, once each day. The clinical therapeutic effects, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) scores were compared before and after treatment in the two groups. Results After treatment for 4 weeks, the total effective rate of 90.6%(29/32) in the auricular point sticking group was better than 61.3%(19/31) in the Diazepam group (P<0.01); the scores of all items in PSQI in the auricular point sticking group, and the sleep quality, sleep time and the total score in the Diazepam group were significantly decreased (all P<0.01); the auricular point sticking group in improvement of sleep quality, falling asleep time, sleep efficacy, somnipathy, hypnotic use, daytime dysfunction and the total score in PSQI, and early awaking, total sleep time, daytime emotion, daytime state, daytime sleepy in AIS was superior to the Diazepam group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Auricular point sticking therapy has a good therapeutic effect on insomnia which is better than oral Diazepam.     

Clinical analysis of acupuncture combined with tuina in treating cervical vertigo

Objective： To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with tuina in treating patients with cervical vertigo. Methods： According to the principle of randomization, 258 cases with cervical vertigo who met the inclusion criteria for the study were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 129 cases in each. The patients in the observation group received acupuncture combined with tuina therapy, while those in the control group were just treated by the same acupuncture therapy as in the observation group. After 10-day continuous treatments, the clinical efficacies of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results： The total effective rate of the observation group was 100%, versus 86.0% of the control group, and the difference was significant（P〈0.05）. After treatment, cervical range of motion（ROM） scores in both groups were statistically significantly different from those before treatment（all P〈0.05）; in addition, there was a statistically significant difference in inter-group comparison of ROM score（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Compared with simple acupuncture treatment, acupuncture combined with tuina therapy has a better effect in improving the ROM of cervical vertigo patients, with higher clinical efficacy.

Results： The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group, versus 80.0% in the control group, showing that the two groups were significantly different （P〈0.01）. After treatment, the global PSO, I scores in the two groups decreased compared with those before treatment （P〈0.01）, and the global PSO, I scores of the two groups after treatment were also statistically different （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Puncturing Back-Shu acupoints can effectively reduce the global PSQI score, improve the patient＇s quality of life, has a good effect on insomnia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion for incomplete adhesive intestinal obstruction.Methods:A total of 100 patients with incomplete adhesive intestinal obstruction were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,and there were 50 patients in each group.The control group was treated with routine western medicine treatment,while the observation group was treated with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy on the foundation of the routine western medicine treatment of the control group.Zhongwan(中脘CV12),Tianshu(天枢ST25),Zusanli(足三里ST36),Shangjiuxu(上巨虚ST37),Zhigou(支沟TE6),Dachangshu(大肠俞BL 25),and Xiaochangshu(小肠俞BL27)were taken when acupuncture was performed.Moxibustion was performed with moxibustion box on abdomen after acupuncture.The time of abdominal pain relief,the first anal exhausting,the first defecation and intestines sound recovery,surgery conversion rate and clinical efficacy were observed in the two groups.Results:The time of abdominal pain relief,the first anal exhausting,the first defecation and intestines sound recovery in the observation group were all shorter than those of the control group.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups(all P0.01).The surgery conversion rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(P0.01).The clinical efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P0.05).Conclusions:Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy on the foundation of the routine western medicine treatment,which can reduce the surgical conversion rate and cut down the time of treatment,was superior to routine western medicine treatment on the clinical efficacy of incomplete adhesive intestinal obstruction.     

The Needle-Rolling Therapy for Treatment of Non-organic Chronic Insomnia in 90 Cases

Objective： To evaluate the therapeutic effects of needle-rolling therapy for chronic insomnia. Methods： In the present multi-central randomly controlled clinical study, 180 cases of chronic insomnia were randomly divided into the following two groups, a treatment group （90 cases） treated by the needle-rolling therapy and a control group （90 cases） treated with clonopin. The treatment course for both the two groups was 4 weeks. The therapeutic effects were evaluated based on improvement of the TCM symptoms and the Pittsburgs＇s sleep-quality index （PSQI）. Results： After treatment, there were significant differences between the two groups in the effective rate （P〈0.05）, and in the total score of PSQI and in the scores of the 4 sub-items, i.e. sleep-quality, sleep-efficiency, hypnotic and daytime function （P〈0.05）. Although there was no significant difference between the two groups in the effective rate after a 3-month follow-up period, significant differences still existed in the 3 sub-items of sleep-efficiency, hypnotic, and daytime function of the PSQI （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： As compared with hypnotics of the second generation, the needle-rolling therapy may show better therapeutic effects for chronic insomnia patients.
