Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with medication in treating breast hyperplasia. Methods: One hundred patients with breast hyperplasia who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine (A&TCM) group and a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group, 50 cases in each group. The A&TCM group received acupuncture combined with oral TCM; the TCM group only received oral TCM. After two courses of treatment, the efficacy was observed. Results: During the two treatment courses, the recovery rates had been increasing in both groups. The recovery rate of the A&TCM group was 40.0% and the total effective rate was 98.0%. While the recovery rate of the TCM group was 18.0% and the total effective rate was 80.0%. According to statistical analysis, the differences of recovery rate and total effective rate between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: Combination of acupuncture and TCM is more effective than simple oral TCM.
