RESUMEN
In order to figure out the current situation and development of scraping therapy, and provide references for further researches. With "scroping therapy" as key word, the inclusive literatures in CNKI from 2002 to 2012 were retrieved and they were analyzed with the bibliometric method. Totaly 420 valid articles were acquined. The article number was increasing yearly and clinical trial was the main researching type. The articles were published in 147 different journals, of which 36.7% were source journals. The articles were mainly from areas with dominating TCM cultural atmosphere, specific folk medicine and prosperous economy. In recent 10 years, although the development of scraping therapy can be seen, the researching depth and width is not enough. In the future, the key point and direction of the research should focus on basic research of action mechanism and standardization of clinical trials in scraping therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effects of scraping therapy on perimenopausal syndrome. METHODS: Twenty women with perimenopausal syndrome were treated with scraping therapy and the dorsal course of the Governor Vessell and the Urinary Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang were scraped, especially on the Back-shu points and Ashi points. The clinical symptoms were observed and compared with a modified Kupperman score before and after treatment. RESULTS: In all the 20 patients, 3 cases were cured, 6 cases were markedly effective, 9 cases were effective, 2 cases were ineffective, and the total effective rate was 90.0%. The Kupperman total score after treatment of (10.4 +/- 7.5) was significantly lower than the score before treatment of (25.0 +/- 5.3) (P < 0.001), in which, hot flushes and sweating, insomnia, fatigue, paresthesia, anxiety/irritability, hypaphrodisia, urinary system infection, tinnitus, dizziness, memory deterioration and headache were eased significantly (P < 0.001, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The scraping therapy has a good clinical effect on perimenopausal syndrome and can significantly improve the clinical symptoms.
