摘　　要：Objective： To observe the clinical effect of superficial needling for ntractable humeral epicondylitis. Methods： Sixty cases in conformity with the inclusion criteria of intractable humeral epicondylitis were randomly divided into two groups, 30 cases in each. The cases in the superficial needling group were treated by superficial needling plus moxibustion, while those in the electro- acupuncture （EA） group were treated by EA plus moxibustion. After treatment, the improvement of the clinical symptoms and signs were compared between the two groups. Results： The curative rate was 80.0% and the total effective rate was 96.7% in the superficial needling group. The curative rate was 60.0% and the total effective rate was 83.3% in the EA group. The differences in the clinical effects between the two groups were statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect of superficial needling plus moxibustion for intractable humeral epicondylitis is better than that of EA plus moxibustion.Objective:To observe the clinical effect of superficial needling for intractable humeral epicondylitis.Methods:Sixty cases in conformity with the inclusion criteria of intractable humeral epicondylitis were randomly divided into two groups,30 cases in each.The cases in the superficial needling group were treated by superficial needling plus moxibustion,while those in the electroacupuncture(EA)group were treated by EA plus moxibustion.After treatment,the improvement of the clinical symptoms and signs were compared between the two groups.Results:The curative rate was 80.0%and the total effective rate was 96.7% in the superficial needling group.The curative rate was 60.0%and the total effective rate was 83.3%in the EA group.The differences in the clinical effects between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The therapeutic effect of superficial needling plus moxibustion for intractable humeral epicondylitis is better than that of EA plus moxibustion.
