Abstract:
Thirty-six cases of cholelithiasis were treated by acupuncture at the Back-Shu and Front-Mu points plus oral decoction. The total effective rate was 97.2%, and the cured plus markedly effective rate was 83.3%, which were much better than those of 83.3% and 52.8% in the control group of 36 cases treated with oral decoction alone. The statistical differences between the two groups were respectively P < 0.05 and P < 0.01.
