Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Gastrodin acupoint injection in treating depression.Method Eighty depression patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group was by gastrodin acupoint injection plus medication, while the control group was by acupuncture plus medication. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) was observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared. Result Respectively after 2 and 3 treatment courses, the HAMD scores were significantly different from that before intervention in both groups (P<0.05). Respectively after 1, 2, and 3 treatment courses, the HAMD scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 70.0% and 100.0% in the treatment group, versus 45.0% and 90.0% in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Gastrodin acupoint injection is an effective approach in treating depression.
