Abstract
Objective To observe the effect of needle-retention duration at BaihuKGV 20)and Sishencong(EX-HN Don blood pressure in hypertension patients. Methods Twenty-four patients with essential hypertension were randomly divided into acupuncture group and medication group. For patients of the acupuncture group, single-use sterilized filiform needles were inserted into BaihuKGV 20) and Sishencongl EX-HN Dand manipulated for about 10 still "Deqi", and retained for 8h. Patients of the medication group were treated by oral administration of Nifedipine tablets(20 mg)in the morning. Blood pressure (right brachial artery) was detected 0. 5> 2, 4, 6 and 8 h after the treatment respectively. Results In comparison with pre-treatment, the systolic pressure levels at the time-points of 0. 5, 2, 4. 6 and 8 h after taking Nifedipine in the medication group, and the systolic pressure levels at the time-points of 2, 4 and 6 h after the treatment in the acupuncture group, and the diastolic pressure levels at the time-points of 2, 4, 6 and 8 h in both acupuncture and medication groups were decreased obviously( P<0. 05, P<0.01). The effect of acupuncture group was significantly weaker than that of the medication group in lowering systolic pressure at the time-points of 0. 5 and 8 h after the treatment(P<0.01). No significant differences were found between the acupuncture and medication groups in lowering systolic pressure at the time-points of 2. 4 and 6 h after the treatment, and in lowering diastolic pressure at the time-points of 0. 5, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h after the treatment(P>0. 05). Conclusion Acupuncture stimulation of Baihui(GV 20)and Si-shencong(EX-HN 1 )with sustained needle-retention works well in lowering blood pressure in hypertension patients, but is relatively slower and has a shorter period of time in lowering blood-pressure efficacy.关键词
