摘      要：Purpose: To observe the therapeutic effect of needling at Neiguan (PC 6) plus oral administration of mexiletine. Methods: 60 cases of frequent ventricular extrasystole were randomly divided into two groups: a treatment group, and a control group. In the control group, mexiletine was orally administered, and in the treatment group needling at bilateral Neiguan (PC 6) plus oral administration of mexiletine were given. 2 weeks of treatments constituted a therapeutic course. Results: Of the 30 cases in the treatment group, 23 cases were markedly effective, 5 cases improved, and 2 cases failed; while in the control group 16 cases were markedly effective, 8 cases improved, 4 cases failed, and 2 cases aggravated. The total effective rates of 90.3% and 80.0%, respectively in the treatment and control groups showed a very significant difference between the two groups (P0.01). Conclusion: Needling at bilateral Neiguan (PC 6) may enhance the therapeutic effect for frequent ventricular extrasystole.
