title: [Study on electroacupuncture at shuigou (GV 26) for treatment of mild and moderate shock: a multicentral and randomized controlled trial].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To probe into the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at Shuigou (GV 26) on mild and moderate shock.
  
  
  METHODS
  With 3-center randomized control study method, 276 cases were assigned to an EA plus medicine group and a medication group, 138 cases in each group. They were treated respectively with western medicine plus EA at Shuigou (GV 26), and simple western medicine. Their curative effects were observed after treatment for 6 hours.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The blood pressure was immediately increased in the EA plus medicine group and the increase of blood pressure was earlier than that in the medication group (P<0.001). The markedly effective rate of 52.9% in the EA plus medicine group was significantly higher than 18.1% in the medication group (P<0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The therapeutic effect of EA at Shuigou (GV 26) plus western medicine on mild and moderate shock is better than that of simple western medicine.
