OBJECTIVE
To observe the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and cupping for hiccup in cases of cerebrovascular accident.
METHODS
80 cases of hiccup due to cerebrovascular accident were randomly divided into the treatment group of 40 cases treated by acupuncture and cupping and the control group of 40 cases treated with Ritaline.
RESULTS
In the treatment group, 24 cases were cured, 8 cases markedly effective, 5 cases improved, and 3 cases failed, with a total effective rate of 92.5%. In the control group, 9 cases were cured, 12 cases markedly effective, 8 cases improved, and 11 cases failed, with a total effective rate of 72.5%. There was a statistically significant difference in the therapeutic effects between the two groups (mu = 3.3259, P = 0.0009).
CONCLUSIONS
The effect of acupuncture and cupping for hiccup due to cerebrovascular accident was noticeably superior to Ritaline.
