In group A, we treated patients with dry needle acupuncture and Hominis Placenta pharmacopuncture therapy. In group B, we treated patients with dry needle acupuncture and sweet bee venom therapy. All process of treatment were performed by double blinding method. To investigate the effectiveness of treatment applied for two groups, we used Yanagihara’s unweighed grading system at before treatment, after 1week, 2weeks, 3weeks and 4weeks of treatment.
Results : The Yanagihara’s scores of group B were higher than those of group A, but not statistically significant. The improvement indexs of group A and group B were different, but not statistically sign- ificant.
