Their therapeutic effects, the time of inducing the stopping convulsion, and the recurrence rate were investigated.
RESULTSThe total effective rate was 86.1% in the combined acupuncture and drug group, better than 79.4% in the drug group (P<0.05), and the time of inducing the stopping convulsion in the combined acupuncture and drug group was shorter than that in the drug group (P<0.01), and the recurrence rate in the combined group was lower than that in the drug group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture combined with intramuscular injection of luminal and intravenous perfusion of diazepam is an effective and safe method for febrile convulsion.
