Abstract: 60 schizophrenia patients were treated with electro-acupuncture and
chlorpromazine therapy in comparison with chlorpromazine therapy alone, 30
patients for each group, and their curative effects evaluated according to
the brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS).
The result showed the total
curative effects of the two groups were similar. However, the marked
effects appeared earlier in combined therapy than that of using
chlorpromazine alone, less chlorpromazine was needed, hence displayed fewer
side-effects.
