    Author: Zhuang LX, Zhang J, Li YZ.
    Journal: Zhongguo Zhen Jiu; 2006 Sep; 26(9):611-3. PubMed ID: 17036474.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To search for an effective method for treatment of general paroxysmal epilepsy. METHODS: One hundred cases were randomly divided into a treatment group of 50 cases treated with catgut implantation at Dazhui (GV 14), Jinsuo (GV 8), Fenglong (ST 40), etc., and a control group of 50 cases treated with oral administration of sodium valproate. RESULTS: The scores for epilepsy after treatment significantly improved in the both groups (P<0.05); the total effective rate was 94.0% in the treatment group and 82.0% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Catgut implantation at acupoint has a definite therapeutic effect on general paroxysmal epilepsy with no adverse effect.
