Differences in design and implementation of clinical research on hypertension treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion were analyzed in this article so as to provide experiences to the design of clinical research on its treatment. Through document retrieval, it can be acquired that results of high quality clinical researches on treatment of hypertension with acupuncture and moxibustion have already been published. However, limitations in terms of sample size calculation, stochastic method, implementation of the blind method, selection of the control group and report on implementation process still existed in domestic documents. Therefore, high quality design proposals which not only in compliance with the features of acupuncture-moxibustion, but also accepted by modern medicine should be established with the combination of the advantages of acupuncture-moxibustion and clinical features of the disease. Moreover, standardizations on measuring the blood pressure, sample size calculation, selection of the control measurements, stochastic method and implementation of the blind methods should be established as well.
本文分析了针灸治疗高血压临床研究的设计与实施差异，以期为其治疗的临床研究设计提供经验。通过文献检索可知，针灸治疗高血压的高质量临床研究成果已发表。然而，国内文献在样本量计算、随机方法、盲法实施、对照组选择及实施过程报告等方面仍存在局限性。因此，应结合针灸优势与疾病临床特点，制定出既符合针灸特色又能被现代医学认可的高质量设计方案。此外，还应在血压测量、样本量计算、对照措施选择、随机方法及盲法实施等方面建立规范。
