Text: Compared before the treatment, the SF-36, NDI and symptom total score after the treatment and in the follow-up visit were all obviously improved in the syndrome-differentiation acupuncture group and regular acupuncture group (all P < 0. 05), which was the most obvious in the syndrome-differentiation acupuncture group [after the treatment, SF-36 : 84. 54 + / - 5. 93 vs 81. 44 + / - 6. 22, 63. 46 + / - 6. 59 ; NDSI : 18. 94 + / - 9. 30 vs 21. 23 + / - 8. 39, 43. 93 + / - 11. 26 ; NDLQI : 71. 42 + / - 7. 23 vs 63. 11 + / - 7. 06, 54. 87 + / - 6. 00 ; symptom total score : 22. 06 + / - 15. 80 vs 32. 52 + / - 16. 88, 47. 97 + / - 10. 92] ; the improvement in the regular acupuncture group was more obvious than that in the non-acupoint group (P < 0. 01, P < 0. 05).
