OBJECTIVE: To compare the differences of clinical effects on primary @entity101 between acupuncture combined with auricular point sticking and western medicine. METHODS: Ninety @entity1 with primary @entity101 were randomly divided into a medication group and a combination group, 45 cases in each group. In the medication group, @entity20805 tablets were treated with oral administration, 12.5 mg each time, twice a day; in the combination group, acupuncture and auricular point sticking were used, and acupuncture was applied at Renying (ST 9), Fengchi (GB 20) and Baihui (GV 20), while auricular point sticking was adopted at Shenmen (TF4), @entity7681 (CO15), Jiangyagou and Jiaogan (AH6a), once a day for continuous 4 weeks. After treatment, the changes of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure, @entity2178 ( @entity2178 ) level, @entity1011 level and syndrome scores were observed and the clinical efficacy was assessed in the two groups. RESULTS: After 4 weeks' treatment, the 24 h ambulatory blood pressure was both improved compared with that before treatment in the two groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). The reducing of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure in the combination group was superior to that in the medication group (P<0.05). There were reducing tendencies about coefficients of variation (CVs) of the two groups, and in the combination group, the CVs of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure and systolic pressure acquired more obvious reducing range compared with the medication group (both P<0.05). Serum @entity2178 level and plasma @entity1011 level of the @entity1 in the two groups after treatment were both decreased (both P<0.05) and the reducing of @entity2178 level and @entity1011 level of the combination group was more obvious than that of the medication group (both P<0.05). The syndrome scores of the two groups after treatment were both remarkably decreased (both P<0.05), and the reducing of the syndrome scores of the combination group was more marked than that of the medication group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the combination group was 95.6% (43/45), which was superior to 71.1% (32/45) of the medication group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture combined with auricular point sticking for primary @entity101 has reliable effect. It is better than captopril for the improvement of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure, AngII level and @entity1011 level, and can improve dizzy, palpitation and other clinical symptoms.
