Article Abstract
Objective: To probe a better method for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Methods One hundred and four cases of trigeminal neuralgia were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=57) and a control group (n=47). The treatment group were treated witb acupoint injection of 2000 microg of VitB12, with Xiaguan (ST 7) selected as main point, and the control group witb oral administration of Carbamazepine. The therapeutic effect were analyzed after 3 tberapeutic courses.
Results: Tbe cured and markedly effective rate and the effective rate were 82.5% and 98.2% in the treatment group, and 57.4% and 8O.9% in the control group, with a very significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). After treatment, there was a very significant difference in the cumulative score of pain between the two groups (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Acupoint injection of VitB12 has a better therapeutic effect than that of oral administration of Carbamazepine.

Objective: In traditional Chinese medicine, asthma is associated with deficiencies in Lung Qi, Spleen Qi, and Kidney Qi. This study investigated the therapeutic mechanism of point application therapy focusing on the acupoints Feishu (BL13), Pishu (BL20), and Shenshu (BL23) for asthma treatment.
Methods: An asthma model was established in Wistar rats via intraperitoneal ovalbumin injection combined with nebulisation.

Objectives: To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture in a rat model of insomnia and its regulatory effect on the glutamic acid (Glu)/γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-glutamine (Gln) metabolic loop.
Methods: Forty male SD rats were randomly assigned to control group, model group, group and group (=10). In the latter 3 groups, rat models of insomnia were established by intraperitoneal injections of p-chlorophenylalanine and verified using a sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep test.

Background: Evidence map is a tool that visualizes the research status to identify research gaps and set priorities, but it has the limitation of the burden of continuous literature monitoring. Pharmacopuncture is a therapeutic modality used in Korean medicine that involves the injection of medicinal extracts into acupoints. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based automated system for building and maintaining a living evidence map in the field of pharmacopuncture research and verify its performance.
