摘要

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy ofShu Feng An Shen(expelling wind and calming mind) needling plus distal points selection in treating cluster headache.MethodForty patients with cluster headache were divided into two groups by using random number table, 20 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened byShu Feng An Shenneedling plus distal points selection, while the control group was by acupuncture with conventional points selection. The pain intensity score (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS), lasting duration and attack frequency were observed.ResultThe VAS score, lasting duration and attack frequency were significantly reduced after treatment in the two groups (P<0.01), and the reduction was more significant in the treatment group (P<0.01).ConclusionShu Feng An Shenneedling plus distal points selection can produce a more significant efficacy in reducing pain intensity, lasting duration, and attack frequency in treating cluster headache compared with acupuncture with conventional points selection.%目的：观察疏风安神针法配合循经远端取穴治疗丛集性头痛的临床疗效。方法将40例丛集性头痛患者按照随机数字表法分为两组，治疗组20例，对照组20例。治疗组采用疏风安神针法配合循经远端取穴治疗，对照组采用传统取穴针刺治疗，观察两组患者疼痛程度评分(VAS)、丛集期持续时间和发作频率。结果两组患者治疗后在VAS、丛集期持续时间和发作频率上均有减少(P＜0.01)，治疗组更明显(P＜0.01)。结论疏风安神针法配合循经远端取穴治疗丛集性头痛在减轻疼痛程度，减少丛集期持续时间和发作频率上优于传统取穴针刺治疗。
