Abstract
Objective: To explore effective methods in treating thalamic pain, and observe the efficacy of mind-regulating and pain-relieving acupuncture in the visual analogue scale (VAS). Methods: 65 patients with thalamic pain were randomly divided into the mind-regulating and pain-relieving acupuncture group (treatment group, n = 34), and the body acupuncture group (control group, n = 31). Both groups were eval-uated by VAS before and after treatment. Results: Efficacy in the treatment group was significantly better than the control group (P< 0.05), VAS score of the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: mind-regulating and pain-relieving acupuncture can ease central nervous system pain, and relieve symptoms of thalamic cerebrovascular pain. Mind-regulating and pain-relieving acupunc-ture was more effective in treating thalamic pain than body acupuncture treatment.
