[Evaluation of therapeutic effects of synthetic auricular point therapy for treatment of common migraine at the attack stage].

OBJECTIVE:To observe and evaluate the short-term and long-term curative effects of the synthetic auricular point therapy on the common migraine in attack stage. METHODS:With the study method of randomized controlled trial, 108 cases of common migraine at the attack stage were randomly assigned to a treatment group of 72 cases treated with synthetic auricular point therapy (blood-letting on the ear back, point injection of own blood, pricking ear point), and a control group of 36 cases treated with Western medicine. Their short-term and long-term curative effects were observed and evaluated. RESULTS:The total short-term effective rate and the total long-term effective rate were respectively 98.6% and 79. 6% in the treatment group with less adverse effects, and with a very significant difference as compared with the control group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION:The synthetic auricular point therapy has obvious short-term and long-term curative effects on common migraine at the attack stage with safety.
