5分鍾的針灸治療幫助所有的病人克服了治牙恐懼。

研究人員表示，害怕去看牙醫的人不必再擔驚受怕，針灸可以幫助他們克服治牙恐怖症。

佩爾·羅斯泰德博士（Dr Palle Rosted ）帶領8名英國的牙醫對20位害怕看牙的患者進行了針灸試驗。結果非常樂觀，5分鍾的針灸治療幫助所有的病人克服了治牙恐懼。

羅斯泰德博士說，?雖然參加試驗的病人數量不多，但是針灸對所有人都起了作用。這些病人之前不是驚叫著跑出診所，就是需要牙醫助手按在椅子上才能進行牙齒檢查。?

頭部穴位

所有參加試驗的病人年齡都在40多歲，他們患有治牙恐怖症的時間在2年到30年不等。其中的很多病人都曾經試過催眠術及放鬆治療等其他辦法來克服治牙恐懼，效果不甚理想。

針灸治療非常簡單，隻需將針紮在病人頭部的兩個穴位上並保持5分鍾時間，之後病人便可放鬆地接受牙齒檢查。

羅斯泰德博士要求參加試驗的病人通過貝克焦慮量表（Beck Anxiety Inventory, BAI）為自己在針灸治療前後的狀態分別作出自我評估。結果顯示，病人在接受針灸治療後焦慮值從26.5下降至11.5。更重要的是，參加試驗的所有病人都可以接受之後的牙齒治療。

牙醫生紮針

羅斯泰德博士說，雖然針灸不是一個完整的治療，但是它可以幫助病人接受之後的牙齒檢查、補牙，甚至拔牙，效果非常顯著。他還說，紮針灸非常簡單，牙醫們可以很快學會並使用。

英國醫學針灸協會（British Medical Acupuncture Society）的醫學總監邁克·卡明斯（Mike Cummings）說，針灸是解決焦慮的良方，英國的上千位牙醫都可以接受培訓並為病人進行針灸治療，以減輕恐懼感和焦慮感。

英國牙科協會（British Dental Association）的達明·瓦姆斯利教授（Prof. Damien Walmsley）表示，?為了幫助病人輕鬆地接受治療，牙醫們實在是費了不少勁。為了確認針灸的功效，確實應該再進一步研究，但是現在看來，針灸治療的確非常有效。?

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Anxiety related to dental treatment is a common phenomenon that has a significant impact on the provision of appropriate dental care. The aim of this case series was to examine the effect of acupuncture given prior to dental treatment on the level of anxiety.

METHODS:

Eight dentists submitted 21 case reports regarding the treatment of dental anxiety. The level of anxiety was assessed by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Only patients with moderate to severe anxiety (BAI score > or =16) were included. The remaining 20 patients, 16 women and 4 men, with a mean age of 40.3 years, had a median BAI score of 26.5 at baseline. The BAI score was assessed before and after the acupuncture treatment. All patients received acupuncture treatment for 5 min prior to the planned dental treatment using the points GV20 and EX6.

RESULTS:

There was a significant reduction in median value of BAI scores after treatment with acupuncture (26.5 reduced to 11.5; p<0.01), and it was possible to carry out the planned dental treatment in all 20 cases after acupuncture treatment. Previously this had only been possible in six cases.

CONCLUSION:

Acupuncture prior to dental treatment has a beneficial effect on the level of anxiety in patients with dental anxiety and may offer a simple and inexpensive method of treatment. However, the present results need to be tested in a larger randomised clinical trial in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the acupuncture treatment in patients with dental anxiety
