Guangxi University ofTCM 11-2892/R Objective To observe the impacts of acupuncture on brainstem evoked potentials in the patients with primary depression. Methods Forty cases of primary depression were treated by acupuncture at Baihui （百会 GV 20）, Yinatng （印堂 GV 29）, DazhuT （大椎 GV 14）, bilateral Shenmen （神门 HT 7）, bilateral Taichong （太冲 LR 3）, bilateral Neiguan （内关 PC 6） and SanyTnjiao （三阴交 SP 6）. The needles were retained for 30 min. Acupuncture treatment was given once every two days, three treatments a week. The brainstem auditory evoked potential （BAEP） and visual evoked potential （VEP） were observed in 6 weeks of treatment. The change in Hamilton depression scale （HAMD） score was observed before and after treatment in the depression group. Results After treatment, VEP wave latency was shortened significantly in patients of depression （P〈0.05）, BAEPIII wave latency was shortened significantly （P〈0.05）. The score of HAMD was decreased apparently in the depression group （P〈0.05）. Conclusions The stressability of visual and auditory stimuli in the central nervous system was decreased in the patients of depression. Acupuncture shortens remarkably the brainstem evoked potentials latency in the patients of depression and achieves the effective results in the treatment of primary depression. depression; acupuncture; brainstem auditory evoked potentia（BAEP）; visual evoked potential （VEP） |
