Observation on therapeutic effects of blood-letting puncture with cupping in acute trigeminal neuralgia.
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.
