The Study Of Jin-three Needles In Treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

ObjectiveChronic fatigue syndrome is a syndrome characterized by generalized chronic fatigue.Its accompanying symptoms include memory loss,sore throat,swollen lymph nodes,myalgia,joint pain,headache and insomnia.So far,modern medicine can not completely elucidate the etiology and pathogenesis of CFS,and it can have a serious impact on the patient’s work,study and daily life.According to long-term clinical experience and literature research,we found that Jin-three needles has a good effect on chronic fatigue syndrome.Therefore,a randomized controlled trial is adopted to treat chronic fatigue syndrome by Jin-three needles in our study.Our study is carry on analysis to Jin-three needles in treating chronic fatigue syndrome,and we hope this study provide effective clinical evidence for Jin-three needles in treating chronic fatigue syndrome.MethodsIn this study,the total number of samples was 60.These eligible cases were randomly divided into intervention group and control group,30 cases in each group.Intervention group took Pi-three needles and conventional acupuncture for treatment.The control group only took conventional acupuncture for treatment.The intervention group and the control group retained needles for 30 minutes in each treatment,and we moved needles per15 minutes by the way of uniform reinforcing-reducing,5 times a week,5 times as a course,totally 2 courses.Symptom scores and FS-14 scores of two groups were observed before and after treatment,and the treatment effect was compared between two groups.ResultsThe gender,age,disease condition,pre-treatment symptom scores and FS-14 scores of two groups were not statistically different,so there werecomparability.The total effective rate of intervention group was 67%.The total effective rate of control group was 23%.The intervention group were better than the control group in the aspect of the total efficiency.In rank sum test,P<0.05,two groups had a statistically significant difference in total efficacy after treatment.In the aspect of improving symptom scores and FS-14 scores,both groups had a good result.In a word,Jin-three needles has a certain effect on chronic fatigue syndrome.ConclusionJin-three needles has a certain effect on chronic fatigue syndrome,its effect is superior to conventional acupuncture.In the aspect of improving the clinical symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome,Jin three needle method is superior to conventional acupuncture.
