Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo observe clinical therapeutic effect of pricking blood therapy with three-edged-needle plus cupping on Bi-syndrome of wind-dampness type in Yemenia and compare with "Heigama", a traditional Arabic therapy. Methods Forty cases of Bi-syndrome of wind-dampness type were treated with pricking blood therapy with three edged needle plus cupping and 40 cases with "Heigama" for 3 weeks, once each week.
RESULTSThe total effective rate in the two groups was 82.5% and 80.0% respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONPricking blood therapy with three-edged-needle plus cupping of TCM has obvious therapeutic effect on Bi-syndrome of wind-dampness type in Yemenia, with more convenience than Arabic "Heigama".
