title: [Multicenter controlled study on transient asthma-stopping action of acupuncture at "Qingchuan point"].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To test and verify the transient therapeutic effect of acupuncture at point "Qingchuan" on bronchial asthma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two hundred cases of bronchial asthma at acute attack stage were divided into a trial group of 100 cases treated with acupuncture at point "Qingchuan" and a control group of 100 cases treated with acupuncture at Dingchuan (EX-B1).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total effective rate was 92.60% and the effect occurred within 42-860 seconds after acupuncture in the trial group, and 81.0% and within 114-126 seconds in the control group, respectively, with very significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.01, P < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Acupuncture at point "Qingchuan" can significantly improve asthmatic state in the patient of bronchial asthma with action of rapidly stopping asthma.
