title: Observation on therapeutic effects of blood-letting puncture with cupping in acute trigeminal neuralgia.
abstract: In the present paper, 45 cases of acute trigeminal neuralgia were treated and observed by comparative method. Results showed no significant difference in transient analgesic effect (P > 0.05) but a significant difference in therapeutic effect (P < 0.01) between the treatment and control groups. This indicates that blood-letting puncture with cupping is an effective therapy for the disease.
