Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical effect of blood-pricking therapy combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of migraine. Methods 70 patients with migraine who were admitted to Chengbei Branch of Hangzhou First People's Hospital from October 2015 to October 2016 were randomly divided into two groups: blood-pricking therapy combined with electroacupuncture group (observation group) and oral western medicine control group (western medicine group) respectively, with 35 cases in each group. The observation group was given pricking for bloodletting combined with electroacupuncture. The oral Western medicine control group was orally given ergotamine caffeine tablets and flunarizine for treatment, with the course of treatment of 12 days. Visual analogue scores(VASscores) 30 minutes after the end of the first treatment and headache scores at the end of the treatment period were observed. The difference of the efficacy of the two treatment methods was compared. Results The decrease value of VASscore in the observation group 30 minutes after the end of treatment was better than that in western medicine group(P＜0. 05). Before and after treatment, the decrease value of the headache scores and the total effective rate in the observation group were better than those in the western medicine group(P＜0. 05). The adverse reaction rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the western medicine group(P＜0. 05). Conclusion The combination of blood-pricking therapy and electroacupuncture and oral administration of western medicine both have a good immediate analgesic effect on migraine. However, the immediate analgesic effect and the short-term efficacy of blood pricking combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of migraine are significantly better than those of oral administration of western medicine, and the safety is high, which is worthy of promotion.
