This study was done to estimate the smoking cessation rates 4 years after treatment with acupuncture and nicotine gum.
Participants were randomized in a 2 x 2 factorial design to four groups: double active treatments (nicotine gum and acupuncture), double placebo, and the combination of one active treatment and placebo.
The success rates were quite similar in the four groups at the different points of follow-up. They sharply decreased between 1 month (around 23%) and 1 year (around 10%). The decrease slowed down thereafter to around 6% at 4 years.
Results from our study suggest that the two treatments did not offer any long-term improvement over placebo. Additional investigations are necessary to estimate the magnitude of their long-term success rate.
本研究旨在评估针刺疗法与尼古丁口香糖治疗4年后的戒烟率。
参与者按2×2析因设计随机分为四组：双重有效治疗组（尼古丁口香糖和针刺疗法）、双重安慰剂组，以及一种有效治疗与安慰剂联合组。
在不同随访时间点，四组的成功率相当相似。成功率在1个月（约23%）至1年（约10%）之间急剧下降。此后下降速度放缓，4年时降至约6%。
我们的研究结果表明，这两种治疗方法在长期效果上并不优于安慰剂。需要进一步研究以评估其长期成功率的大小。
