Randomized Controlled Trial
[Clinical observation of post-herpetic neuralgia treated with TCM herbal cupping therapy].
To compare the difference in the efficacy on post-herpetic neuralgia among TCM herbal cupping therapy, Chinese medicine thermal compressing therapy and mecobalamine. ⋯ TCM herbal cupping therapy achieves the superior efficacy for post-herpetic neuralgia and relieves pain effectively of the patients, which is more advantageous than CM herbal thermal compressing therapy and Mecobalamine.

[Immediate analgesic effect of electroacupuncture and its regulation mechanism via spinal p-ERK1/2].
To observe influence of electroacupuncture (EA) on phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) in spinal cord dorsal horn (SCDH) in rats with acute inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), further elucidate the immediate analgesic mechanism of EA via cellular signal transduction. ⋯ Inhibiting ERK1/2 activation of SCDH may be one of the pivotal mechanism of cellular signal transduction of the immediate analgesic effect educed by EA.
-
To investigate the intervention effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint sitmulation (TEAS) on heart under limiting level of controlled hypotension. ⋯ TEAS combined with anesthesia for controlled hypotension can elevate myocardial effect of anti-oxide free radical, reduce the postoperative release of LDH and CK-MB, so as to produce myocardial protection.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Lumbar disc herniation treated with Shu-needle therapy and ozone injection of low concentration].
To verify the efficacy on lumbar disc herniation treated with Shu-needle therapy in combination with ozone injection of low concentration. ⋯ Shu-needle therapy in combination with ozone injection of low concentration achieves the superior efficacy on lumbar disc herniation as compared with the acupotomy group.
