摘要
目的
观察针刺配合水针治疗焦虑症的临床疗效。
方法
针刺董氏奇穴上三皇为主治疗焦虑症186 例, 与单纯西药丁螺环酮 (buspirone)治疗的139 例作疗效对比观察。
结果
治疗组总有效率为91.4%, 对照组为93.5%, 两组患者汉密尔顿焦虑量表(hamilton anxiety scale, HAMA)、 焦虑自评量表(self rating anxiety scale, SAS)治疗前后差异有统计学意义(P<0.001), 而两组间差异无显著性意义(_P_>0.05)。
结论
针刺治疗与抗焦虑药丁螺环酮可相媲美。 因口服丁螺环酮有不同程度的副作用, 如头晕、 口干、 便秘、 排尿困难、 嗜酸等, 而针刺基本上没有副作用, 在效果指数方面针刺优于丁螺环酮, 这对于各种原因不能服用药物治疗的患者尤为适用。
Abstract

This was especially suitable for patients who could not take medications for various reasons.
