AbstractOBJECTIVE: METHODS:

The observation group were treated by isolated electroacupuncture and the control group by normal electroacupuncture. Jiache (ST 6), Yangbai (GB 14), Dicang (ST 4), Xiaguan (ST 7), Fengchi (GB 20) and Hegu (LI 4) were selected and same drugs were administrated in the two groups. Then their therapeutic effects were observed.
RESULTS:
Forty-five cases were cured, 11 cases were markedly effective and 4 cases improved with an effective rate of 100.0% in the observation group, and corresponding figures were 26, 2 and 10 cases, and 95.0% in the control group, the observation group being better than the control group (P < 0.01).
