| Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects of pounding and lifting-thrusting needing at scalp points for chronic muscle tension headache.in order to find a more effective method for clinical treatment of chronic muscle tension headache.Methods:56 patients with chronic muscle tension headache were randomly divided into treatment group(28 cases)and control group(28 cases).Acupoint selection in two groups: Baihui,Fengchi(bilateral),Taiyang(bilateral),Touwei(bilateral),Shuaigu(bilateral),Hegu(bilateral),Waiguan(bilateral).The treatment group was treated with pounding needing at scalp points and mild-reinforcing-reducing at Hegu and Waiguan;The control group was treated with the lifting and thrusting needing at scalp points and mild-reinforcing-reducing at Hegu and Waiguan.Both of them were once a day,6 times a week,for 4 weeks.Compare the effect of the two groups by measuring the headache intensity,headache index,SAS anxiety self-rating scale and headache index reduction rate.Results:1.Headache intensity,headache index,and SAS were significantly reduced in both groups after treatment(all P < 0.05),There was no significant difference between the two groups in the above indexes before treatment(all P > 0.05),Significant difference between groups after treatment(all P <0.05),The decline was greater in the treatment group.2.The cured and markedly effective rate of 78.57%(22/28)in the treatment group was superior to that of 50.00%(14/28)in the control group(p< 0.05).Conclusion:1.The pounding needing at scalp point can obviously reduce the painful degree,shorten the painful duration,and relive headache,which is better than the lifting and thrusting needing.2.The pounding needing at scalp point can obviously Reduce the patient’s anxiety,which is better than the lifting and thrusting needing.3.The treatment of chronic muscle tension headache by pounding needing at scalp point is effective,which is better than the lifting and thrusting needing. |
