Abstract:
Objective Based on the diagnostic technique of electric meridian detection, to observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating angioneurotic headache.Method Totally 106 patients with angioneurotic headache were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 53 cases in each group. The treatment group received acupuncture based on the electric meridian detection, while the control group received medication treatment. The hemorheology indexes [plasma viscosity (PV), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)] and McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) [Pain Rating Index (PRI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Present Pain Intensity (PPI)] were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared. Result The total effective rate was 88.7% in the treatment group versus 71.7% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After intervention, the hemorheology indexes and MPQ scores were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture based on electric meridian detection is an effective method in treating angioneurotic headache.
