Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of deep electroacupuncture at Baliao points intreating chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID) due to damp-heat stagnation.Method Sixty-four patients with CPID due to damp-heat stagnation were randomized into two groups, 32 cases in the deep-electroacupuncture group and 32 cases in ordinary-electroacupuncture group, 10 d as a treatment course, and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 2 treatment courses. The pre-treatment and post-treatment body sign scores and the change of the scores in the two groups were compared.Result The total effective rates were respectively 93.8% and 75.0% in the deep-electroacupuncture group and ordinary-electroacupuncture group, and the improvement of body sign score in the deep-electroacupuncture group was statistically more significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Deep electroacupuncture at Baliao points can produce a significant efficacy in treating CPID due to damp-heat stagnation.
