Objective: To study the effect of puncturing points Taiyang (Ex-HN 5), Jiaosun (TE 20), Qiuxu (GB 40) and Shenmai (BL 62) on migraine. Methods: The 120 cases in the treatment group were treated with routine acupuncture therapy, while the 40 cases in the control group were treated with Ergotamine and Caffeine Tablet, and then the therapeutic effect and recovery time of the two groups were compared. Results: The recovery rate of the treatment group was 90.0%, which is higher than 70.0% of the control group (P＜ 0.01). The total effective rate of the treatment group was 100%, which is better than 92.5% of the control group (P ＜ 0.05),The therapeutic effect of the treatment group was significantly better than the control group and the treatment group needed shorter treatment period (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions: Acupuncture has higher recovery rate and total effective rate as well as shorter treatment period than oral ergotamine and caffeine tablets, which indicated that acupuncture is superior to the routinely-administered oral western tablets in treating migraine.%目的:研究针刺太阳、角孙、丘墟和申脉对偏头痛的影响.方法:观察组120例患者采用常规针刺疗法,对照组40例患者采用口服麦咖片法,并将两组的治疗效果和痊愈时间进行对比观察.结果:观察组痊愈率90.0%高于对照组痊愈率70.0%(P＜0.05).观察组总有效率100%好于对照组总有效率92.5%(P＜0.01).观察组疗效明显优于对照组.而且观察组患者的治疗时间短(P＜0.05).结论:针刺疗法痊愈率、总有效率均高于麦角胺咖啡因片,且疗程短,提示本法疗效优于口服常规西药的方法.
