ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To observe the efficacy of napex acupoint thread-embedding combined with metoprolol tartrate tablet for prophylactic treatment of migraine without aura, and to compare its efficacy with simple napex acupoint thread-embedding and simple metoprolol tartrate tablet.METHODS:
A total of 105 patients with migraine without aura were randomized into a combination group (35 cases, 5 cases dropped out), a thread-embedding group (35 cases, 4 cases dropped out) and a western medication group (35 cases, 2 cases dropped out). In the thread-embedding group, napex acupoint thread-embedding was applied at bilateral Fengchi (GB 20) and points of 1.5 cun nearby to the lower edge of spinous process of cervical 2. In the western medication group, metoprolol tartrate tablet was given orally, 12.5 mg a time, twice a day. In the combination group, napex acupoint thread-embedding combined with oral metoprolol tartrate tablet was delivered. The treatment of 8 weeks was required in the 3 groups. The days of headache attacks, frequency of headache attacks, headache severity (visual analogue scale [VAS] score) and the migraine specific quality of life questionnaire version 2.1 (MSQ) score were observed during baseline period (4 weeks before treatment to before treatment), observation period (1-4 weeks and 5-8 weeks in treatment) and follow-up period (1-4 weeks after treatment completion) respectively, the proportions of the days of headache attacks/frequency of headache attacks relieved by 50% were calculated, and the safety was evaluated in the 3 groups.RESULTS:
During the observation period and the follow-up period, the days of headache attacks, frequency of headache attacks and headache VAS scores in the 3 groups were reduced compared with those of the baseline period (P<0.05). During the observation period and the follow-up period, the days of headache attacks and the frequency of headache attacks in the combination group were lower than those in the thread-embedding group and the western medication group (P<0.05); during the observation period (1-4 weeks in treatment), the headache VAS scores in the combination group and the thread-embedding group were lower than that in the western medication group (P<0.05); during the observation period (5-8 weeks in treatment) and the follow-up period, the headache VAS scores in the combination group were lower than those in the thread-embedding group and the western medication group (P<0.05). During the observation period and the follow-up period, the scores of role restriction, role prevention and emotion function of MSQ in the combination group were increased compared with those of the baseline period (P<0.05); during the observation period (5-8 weeks in treatment) and the follow-up period, the role prevention scores of MSQ in the thread-embedding group and the western medication group were increased compared with those of the baseline period (P<0.05); during the follow-up period, the emotion function scores of MSQ in the thread-embedding group and the western medication group were increased compared with those of the baseline period (P<0.05). During the observation period and the follow-up period, the scores of role restriction, role prevention and emotion function of MSQ in the combination group were higher than those in the thread-embedding group and the western medication group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the proportions of the days of headache attacks/frequency of headache attacks relieved by 50% among the 3 groups (P>0.05), and there were no serious adverse reactions in the 3 groups.CONCLUSIONS:
Napex acupoint thread-embedding combined with metoprolol tartrate tablet, simple napex acupoint thread-embedding and simple metoprolol tartrate tablet all can reduce the days of headache attacks and the frequency of headache attacks, relieve headache severity and improve the quality of life in patients with migraine without aura. Napex acupoint thread-embedding combined with metoprolol tartrate tablet has a better effect.Palavras-chave
