Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture with different retention time on trigeminal neuralgia. Methods From December 2017 to March 2019, 90 patients with trigeminal neuralgia admitted to Outpatient Department of Acupuncture in the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine were selected as research objects. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into 10 minutes retention group (30 cases), 30 minutes retention group (30 cases) and 50 minutes retention group (30 cases). All patients were treated with electroacupuncture combined deep needling at Xiaguan (ST 7) once a day, a month for one course of treatment. The efficacy and pain indexes of three groups were compared. Results After treatment, total effective rate of 30 minutes group was higher than that of 10 minutes group and 50 minutes group the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment, VAS score of three groups was lower than that before treatment, and VAS score of 30 minutes group was lower than that of 10 minutes group and 50 minutes group, the differences were highly statistically significant (P < 0.01). Conclusion Therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture with 30 minutes retention on trigeminal neuralgia is better than that of 10 minutes and 50 minutes, and there is no significant difference between 10 minutes and 50 minutes electroacupuncture retention on trigeminal neuralgia.
