研究目的:

以假针刺+常规药物治疗为对照,探究电针治疗(干预因素)+常规药物治疗广泛性焦虑障碍患者的疗效和安全性。并探究血液免疫表型是否中介了电针治疗对焦虑症状的疗效。

Objectives of Study:

To explore the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture by comparing them in the medication group(electroacupuncture plus treatment as usual) and the control group(sham acupuncture plus treatment as usual). And to explore whether peripheral inflammation mediates the efficacy of electroacupuncture on anxiety symptoms.

药物成份或治疗方案详述:

治疗方案描述:电针组在不变动患者基础用药情况下,使用电针治疗。针刺穴位:百会、神庭、内关、合谷、太冲、三阴交、关元、足三里 针刺后在针柄上连接电子针疗仪的电极。 电针刺激参数:连续波,100Hz,强度以患者耐受为度,30min/次,每周3次,连续治疗4周。 在不变动患者基础用药情况下,在电针组穴位旁开浅刺,针刺后在针柄上连接电子针疗仪的电极,但不接通电源。 30min/次,每周3次,连续治疗4周。

Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail:

EA group: Under the condition of not changing the patient's basic medication electroacupuncture treatment was used. Acupuncture points: Baihui Shenting Neiguan Hegu Taichong Sanyinjiao Guanyuan and Zusanli. After acupuncture electrodes of the electroacupuncture device were connected to the needle handles. Electroacupuncture stimulation parameters: continuous wave 100Hz intensity based on patient tolerance 30 minutes/session three times a week for a continuous treatment of four weeks. Sham EA group: In the case of no changes to the patient's baseline medication in the electroacupuncture group shallow needling is performed next to the acupoint and after acupuncture electrodes of the electroacupuncture device are connected to the needle handle but the power is not turned on. The treatment lasts for 30 minutes per session three times a week for four consecutive weeks.

Generated random number by research assiastant using Excel

盲法:

本试验涉及研究者、评估者(仅对受试者做客观量表评估)以及受试者,由于设立假电针组,因此本试验对评估者及受试者施盲,评估者及受试者完全不知晓受试者的分组情况。

Blinding:

This study involves researchers assessors (who only conduct objective scale assessments on the participants) and participants. Due to the establishment of a sham acupuncture group the study implements blinding for both assessors and participants who are completely unaware of the group assignments of the participants.

数据采集和管理(说明:数据采集和管理由两部分组成,一为病例记录表(Case Record Form, CRF),二为电子采集和管理系统(Electronic Data Capture, EDC),如ResMan即为一种基于互联网的EDC:

采用传统纸质版 病例记录表(CRF) 表进行试验数据的收集。在试验开始之前,需要对相关研究人员进行 CRF 表填写规范的培训。 (1)数据收集 研究者在填写完纸质病例之后,需要在当日内将数据汇总到电子版 excel 上,研究者需对录入数据的质量负责,确保数据的真实性和完整性。第二日再有另一位研究者根据原始纸质病例核对电子版数据的准确性和完整性。并记录填写日期和核对者姓名。 (2)数据核查与修改 研究者进行核查,是否存在异常数据。当发现异常数据时,立即找出对应的原始纸质病例报告表,进行核对。每次发现异常数据时确保当天能够得到正确的处理。并记录核查日期和核查者姓名。 (3)数据保存 在确保纸质病例以及电子数据填写完成后,需将纸质病例保存在干燥阴凉的封闭环境中。电子数据保存在加密的移动硬盘中,移动硬盘和密码需由两个不同的研究者分别保管

Data collection and Management (A standard data collection and management system include a CRF and an electronic data capture:

The traditional paper version of the Case Record Form (CRF) was used for the collection of experimental data. Before the experiment begins it is necessary to provide training to relevant researchers on the standardization of CRF form filling. (1) Data collection After filling out the paper case researchers need to summarize the data into an electronic version of Excel within the same day. Researchers are responsible for the quality of the input data to ensure its authenticity and completeness. On the second day another researcher verified the accuracy and completeness of the electronic version of the data based on the original paper case. And record the date of filling and the name of the verifier. (2) Data verification and modification The researchers conducted a verification to determine if there were any abnormal data. When abnormal data is found immediately find the corresponding original paper case report form and verify it. Ensure correct handling on the same day every time abnormal data is detected. An
