title: [Clinical observation on acupuncture at Neimadian for analgesia postoperation of extremities].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe therapeutic effect of acupuncture at Neimadian on pain after operation of four limbs.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty-two patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 31 cases in each group. The observation group were treated with electroacupuncture at Neimadian for 30 min, and the control group with oral administration of tramadoli hydrochloridum. Changes of pain within 24 hours were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The analgesic effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Analgesic effect of acupuncture at Neimadian on pain after operation of four limbs is superior to that of oral administration of tramadoli.
