Abstract: | Objective To investigate the intervention effect of electroacupuncture on post-withdrawal anxiety and depression of those with heroin
dependence.
Method One hundred and twenty heroin dependence cases were randomly allocated into 4 groups, including acupuncture group 1 using
Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points and Shenshu (BL 23), acupuncture group 2 using points in the four limbs, simulation and control groups.
Then the SAS and SDS changes were observed before the treatment and 4th, 8th and 10th week after.
Result At the 4th, 8th and 10th week, the SAS and SDS scores in acupuncture group 1 and 2 showed significant differences with the
control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). There were significant differences between SAS changes in acupuncture group 1 and 2 but there was no significant difference
in SDS changes.
Conclusion Electroacupuncture can improve the post-withdrawal anxiety and depression in heroin addicts. Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points showed
significantly better effects in improving anxiety than points in four limbs but no significant difference in improving depression.
