54 cases of peripheral nerve injury were treated by electric acupuncture and compared with 54 control cases treated with supportive medication. The changes after treatment were observed chiefly by electromyography while sensory and motor improvement were also recorded as auxiliary indicators. The therapeutic results in the acupuncture group were 5 cases cured, 26 markedly effective, 19 improved, and 4 cases failed, a total effective rate of 92.6% in contrast to the 55.6% for the controls. Analysis of the therapeutic results showed that 1) those in the acupuncture group were significantly better than in the control group; 2) nerve injuries should be treated as early as possible; 3) the radial nerve and the common peroneal nerve recovered faster than others; 4) cases not surgically explored recovered faster than those that were, and 5) patients with prompt propagation of the needling sensation recovered significantly faster than those with slow propagation.
对54例外周神经损伤患者采用电针治疗，并与54例采用支持性药物治疗的对照病例进行比较。治疗后主要通过肌电图观察变化，同时记录感觉和运动改善情况作为辅助指标。针刺组治疗结果为治愈5例，显效26例，好转19例，无效4例，总有效率为92.6%，而对照组为55.6%。治疗结果分析表明：1）针刺组疗效明显优于对照组；2）神经损伤应尽早治疗；3）桡神经和腓总神经恢复快于其他神经；4）未进行手术探查的病例恢复快于进行手术探查的病例；5）针感传导迅速的患者恢复明显快于针感传导缓慢的患者。
