氦氖激光照射治疗各种炎症已证实有卓著的疗效。1985年我们设计了激光针灸方法治疗某些疾病

也取得一些成效。本文仅就于1985年7月至1986年5月应用激光这种治疗方法治疗的前列腺炎119例的结果报道如下:Laser acupuncture produced remarkable effects on 119 cases of prostatitis. All the patients were from our clinic.Most of them were young or middle- aged. Patients were divided into two groups

laser acupuncture group (therapeu- tic group) and laser rectum irradiation (control group).For the therapeutic group

the helium-neon laser acupuncture and moxibustion needle was inserted into the prostate through the perineum

and for the control group

fiber optics was placed in the glass stick and inserted into the hole of rectum to irradiate indirectly the prostate.Patents in the two groups were all treated 20 min- utes per a day for four times as a course. The cure rate was 53.4%

in the threapeutic group including 88 cases and in the control group of 31 cases

the cure rate was 22.60%

the difference being very significant (p<0.01).The total effective rate of the therapeutic group was 98.9% and that of the control group was 83.9%.The difference was also very significant.(p<0.01). In the therapeutic group the prostate was reduced 0.449cm in average

and 0.108cm in the control group.There exists a very significant difference (p<0.01).
