Abstract:
Fifty-six cases of intractable hiccup in cancer patients treated with acupuncture in a treatment group were compared with 58 cases treated with routine western medicine in a control group. The result showed that the effective rate was 87.5% in the treatment group and 32.8% in the control group. Ridit was used for analysis. The effective rate in the treatment group was much higher than that in the control group (P＜0.01).
