Objectives : he purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of the electroacupuncture with different frequency on functional dyspepsia.
Methods : We observed 30 functional dyspepsia patients from May, 2013 to June, 2014. This study was randomized and double blinded. The patients were divided into two groups. One group (group A) was treated with 3 Hz electroacupuncture and the other group (group B) was treated with 300 Hz electroacupuncture. We evaluated the treatment effect of each group by using visual analogue scale (VAS) and pressure algometer.
Results :
1.Functional dyspepsia was significantly improved in group treated with 3 Hz electroacupuncture.
2.Functional dyspepsia was significantly improved in group treated with 300 Hz electroacupuncture.
3.As a result of evaluation there were no statistical significance between two groups. Conclusion : Both 3 Hz and 300 Hz electroacupuncture has significant effect on functional dyspepsia. But there is no significant difference between 3 Hz and 300 Hz electroacupuncture.
