Clinical observation of anxiety after earthquake by acupuncture and hydro-acupuncture

摘要

目的

观察针刺配合水针治疗焦虑症的临床疗效。

方法

针刺董氏奇穴上三皇为主治疗焦虑症186 例, 与单纯西药丁螺环酮 (buspirone)治疗的139 例作疗效对比观察。

结果

治疗组总有效率为91.4%, 对照组为93.5%, 两组患者汉密尔顿焦虑量表(hamilton anxiety scale, HAMA)、 焦虑自评量表(self rating anxiety scale, SAS)治疗前后差异有统计学意义(P<0.001), 而两组间差异无显著性意义(P>0.05)。

结论

针刺治疗与抗焦虑药丁螺环酮可相媲美。 因口服丁螺环酮有不同程度的副作用, 如头晕、 口干、 便秘、 排尿困难、 嗜酸等, 而针刺基本上没有副作用, 在效果指数方面针刺优于丁螺环酮, 这对于各种原因不能服用药物治疗的患者尤为适用。

Abstract

Objective

To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture and hydro-acupuncture in treating anxiety.

Methods

Compare between the therapeutic effect of 186 cases of Three Huang Points of DONG’s extra points in treating anxiety and that of 139 cases by purely Western medicine buspirone.

Results

The total effective rate of the treatment group was 91.4%, and the rate of the control group was 93.5%. There was statistical difference of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores before and after treatment in both groups (P<0.001), while there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion

Oral administration of buspirone had different degrees of side effects, such as dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, difficulty urinating and acidophilus, while there was basically no side effects of acupuncture and the effect of acupuncture was better than buspirone. This was especially suitable for patients who could not take medications for various reasons.
