OBJECTIVETo observe the differences of therapeutic effects on common cold of wind-cold type at early stage treated by different cupping duration.
METHODSSixty cases of common cold of wind-cold type were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group by fifty-fifty. Flash cupping was applied at Dazhui (GV 14), Fengmen (BL 12), Feishu (BL 13), Xinshu (BL 15) and Geshu (BL 16), etc., and the cupping was retained for 25-30 min in the observation group and 15 min in the control group. The therapeutic effects were compared after twice treatments.
RESULTSThe total effect rate was 93.3% (28/30) in observation group, superior to that 66.7% (20/30) in control group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe therapeutic effect of common cold of wind-cold type at early stage treated with cupping for 25-30 min is obvious, superior to that for 15 min.
