OBJECTIVE
To observe the therapeutic effects of electrical acupuncture and auricular-plaster therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
METHODS
64 CFS patients were randomly divided into two groups. 32 cases in the treatment group were treated by the electrical acupuncture and auricular-plaster therapy, and 32 cases in the control group with oral hydrocortisone.
RESULTS
The total effective rates were respectively 93.75% in the treatment group and 75.00% in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Electrical acupuncture and auricular-plaster therapy may show a better anti-fatigue effect than that of routine Western drugs.
