Objective: To compare the clinical effect of SUN 's abdominal acupuncture and conventional acupuncture in the treatment of depression after methamphetamine withdrawal.
Methods: A total of 80 female patients with depression after methamphetamine withdrawal were randomly divided into an observation group (40 cases, 1 case dropped off) and a control group (40 cases, 2 cases dropped off). The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (GV 29), Taichong (LR 3), Shenmen (HT 7), Neiguan (PC 6), Danzhong (GV 17), and the observation group was treated with SUN 's abdominal acupuncture at area 1 of the abdomen and area 8 of the abdomen. Both groups were treated once a day, 30 min each time, 6 days as a course of treatment, 1 day rest between treatment courses, a total of 4 courses of treatment. The scores of withdrawal symptoms, Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale and serum serotonin (5-HT) level were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.
Results: After treatment, the scores of withdrawal symptoms, HAMD and the various scores and total score of PSQI scale in the two groups were all lower than before treatment (P<0.01), and the scores of withdrawal symptoms, HAMD and the sleep quality, time to fall asleep, sleep time scores and total score of PSQI in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). After treatment, the serum 5-HT level of the two groups was increased (P<0.01), and that in the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: SUN 's abdominal acupuncture can improve withdrawal symptom, depression and sleep quality, increase serum 5-HT content in treatment of depression after methamphetamine withdrawal, and has better effect than conventional acupuncture.
目的：比较孙氏腹针与常规针刺治疗女性甲基苯丙胺戒断后抑郁的临床疗效。方法：将80例女性甲基苯丙胺戒断后抑郁患者随机分为观察组（40例，脱落1例）和对照组（40例，脱落2例）。对照组予常规针刺治疗（穴取百会、印堂、太冲、神门、内关、膻中），观察组予孙氏腹针针刺治疗（穴取腹一区、腹八区），两组均每日治疗1次，每次30 min，6 d为一疗程，疗程间休息1 d，共治疗4个疗程。比较两组患者治疗前后戒断症状评分、汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HAMD）评分、匹茨堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）量表评分及血清5-羟色胺（5-HT）含量。结果：治疗后，两组患者戒断症状评分、HAMD评分及PSQI量表各项评分、总分均较治疗前降低（P<0.01），且观察组戒断症状评分、HAMD评分和PSQI量表睡眠质量、入睡时间、睡眠时间评分及总分低于对照组（P<0.05，P<0.01）。治疗后，两组患者血清5-HT含量均较治疗前升高（P<0.01），且观察组高于对照组（P<0.05）。结论：孙氏腹针可改善甲基苯丙胺戒断后抑郁患者戒断症状、抑郁状态及睡眠质量，升高血清5-HT含量，疗效优于常规针刺疗法。.
