Randomized Controlled Trial
[Clinical observation on transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation for treatment of functional dyspepsia].
To compare the therapeutic effects of transcutaneous electrical point stimulation and medication on functional dyspepsia. ⋯ Transcutaneous electrical point stimulation can more reduce the symptoms of upper abdominal pain, acid regurgitation, belching and abdominal distention, etc. in the functional dyspepsia patients than medication treatment, and can increase the concentration of the plasma MTL and decrease the SS concentration, thus to improve the gastrointestinal motility.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Observation on therapeutic effect of acupoint application of Chinese medicine on bronchial asthma].
To compare therapeutic effects of acupoint application of Chinese medicine and routine acupuncture on bronchial asthma. ⋯ The therapeutic effect of acupoint application of Chinese medicine in the dog days on bronchial asthma is significantly superior to that of routine acupuncture.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Acupuncture at points of the liver and gallbladder meridians for treatment of migraine: a multi-center randomized and controlled study].
To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of acupuncture at points of The Liver and Gallbladder Meridians for treatment of migraine. ⋯ Acupuncture at points of The Liver and Gallbladder Meridians for treatment of migraine is safe, effective, and with stable long-term therapeutic effect.

To probe into the mechanism of pneumothorax caused by acupuncture or acupoint injection and the preventive methods. ⋯ The mechanism of pneumothorax caused by acupuncture or acupoint injection is that due to the filiform needle tip or the syringe's needle tip inserting into the lung tissue at the patient's respiration in acupuncture or acupoint injection, the filiform needle tip or the syringe's needle tip lacerates the lung tissue. Air in alveolus goes into the thorax pleura cavity to form pneumothorax. In acupuncture or acupoint injection, the needle tip must not insert into the lung tissue, which is a key for prevention of pneumothorax.
