[The combined use of traditional acupuncture and microacupuncture therapy in treating bronchial asthma patients]

OÄvin VI, Gaponiuk PIa.

The attacks of bacterial asthma in 100 patients were treated by standard acupuncture, microacupuncture and by combined use of the modalities. The comparative analysis revealed the highest efficiency for the combined treatment, the less for microacupuncture. The disease of moderate severity, light severity and that free of attacks should be treated, as the authors believe, with acupuncture plus microacupuncture, standard acupuncture, and microacupuncture, respectively.
