Methods:A total of 60 cases were randomized into an electro-acupuncture group and a control group, 30 in each group. Cases in the electroacupuncture group were treated with electroacupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points, whereas cases in the control group were treated with Methadone and Doxepin.

Results:After treatment, the SAS and VAS scores in the electro-acupuncture group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01).
