Objective To investigate the efficacy of triple needling at muscle insertions plus moxibustion in treating acute carpometacarpal joint injury. Method Forty patients were randomly allocated to acupuncture and medication groups, 20 cases each. The therapeutic effects were evaluated after one course of treatment. Result The total efficacy rate and the cure rate were 100.0%and 80.0%, respectively, in the acupuncture group and 90.0% and 50.0%, respectively, in the medication group. There were statistically significant differences in the total efficacy rate and the cure rate between the two groups (P<0.01). The VAS score decreased significantly in both groups of patients after treatment compared with before (P<0.01). The post-treatment VAS score was lower in the acupuncture group than in the medication group (P<0.01). Cooney wrist joint score increased in both groups after treatment compared with before (P<0.01). The post-treatment Cooney score was higher in the acupuncture group than in the medication group (P<0.01). Conclusion Triple needling at muscle insertions plus moxibustion has clinically a marked therapeutic effect on acute carpometacarpal joint injury.

OBJECTIVE: To explore strategies for Chinese chemical pharmaceutical enterprises in the practice of international business.
