Abstract

Objective

To observe the influence of Bo’s abdominal acupuncture plus body acupuncture on the symptoms of moderate depression.

Methods

Sixty-two patients with moderate depression were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was treated with Bo’s abdominal acupuncture plus body acupuncture. The control group was treated with routine body acupuncture only. The patients in the two groups were assessed by Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) respectively before and after the treatment.

Results

The scores of HAMD-17 and SDS of the patients in the two groups were obviously decreased (P<0.01) compared with those before treatment. In comparison of the scores of HAMD-17 and SDS between the groups after treatment, the decreases in the treatment group were more obvious (P<0.01).

Conclusion

Bo’s abdominal acupuncture plus body acupuncture can obviously reduce the scores of HAMD-17 and SDS of the patients with moderate depression and can more remarkably improve the depressive symptoms.
