Methods: Seventy-six cases with anal fissure were randomly divided into two groups, namely, acupotomy group in which 37 patients were treated by anal internal sphincterotomy with acupotomy, and conventional anal sphincterotomy group (conventional group, n=39) that was treated by conventional amputation of the anal sphincter. Results: After treatment, twenty-six over 37 cases in acupotomy group recovered completely and the other 9 cases were improved clinically, with the total effective rate being 94.59%. In conventional group, 27 over 39 cases recovered completely and the other 11 cases were improved clinically. The total effective rate was 97.44%. There was no significant difference in the curative rate between two groups. However, compared with those of conventional group, patients in acupotomy group had significantly less bleeding, earlier healing of fissure and less pain. Conclusion: The results suggest that acupotomy treatment of anal fissure with anal sphincterotomy is a better therapeutic technique with advantages of easier manipulation, earlier healing and milder wound, less infectious complications and pain.展开更多

After 2-6 sessions of treatment, 23 cases (37.1%) were cured, 19 (30.7%) showed marked improvement, 15 (24.2%) had some improvement and 5 (8.1%) failed in the treatment. The total effective rate was 91.9%. It indicates that acupotomy therapy is a highly effective remedy for treating vertebral artery type cervical spndylopathy.展开更多

The small knife needle was adopted to loosen the third vertebra with little invasion and manual reduction method to remove adhesion by pulling back and forth. Among 859 cases treated, 652 cases were cured and 196 cases improved, with the total effective rate of 98.8%. It is indicated that small knife needle plus manual reduction method has positive effects on the transverse process syndrome of the third lumbar vertebra as well as other soft tissues injury.展开更多

Methods: Sixty cases with KOA were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The patients in the treatment group were given acupotomy and cupping, while the patients in the control group were given injection of Sodium Hyaluronate. The index of severity for osteoarthritis(ISOA), the change of the effusion of knee joint and clinical effects were observed after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was respectively 96.7% in the treatment group and 66.7% in the control group. The difference in the clinical effects between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment, ISOA scores and scores of knee effusion in the two groups were remarkably reduced than those before treatment(P<0.05). The changes of the scores of the two indexes were statistically significant(both P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupotomy plus cupping is better than injection of Sodium Hyaluronate in treatment of KOA.展开更多
