Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical effect of abdominal Tuina and acupuncture in treating Swiss generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Methods 80 patients of GAD caused by liver depression-qi stagnation were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group, 40 patients in each. The treatment group was treated with abdominal tuina & acupuncture; while the control group was treated with acupuncture exclusively. Clinical effects and hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) score were observed in both groups before and after the treatment. Results ①There was significant difference in total efficacy between the two groups CP<0.05), and the treatment group was better than the control group. ②The HAMA score of the two groups after the treatment was lower than that before the treatment, and the difference was significant (P< 0.05). There was also significant difference of HAMA score between the two groups after the treatment (/><0.05), with the treatment group showing better results than the control group. Conclusion Abdominal tuina combined with acupuncture has sound effects in treating Swiss GAD due to liver depression-qi stagnation.
