Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy and safety of Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu decoction for the treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients: a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial.
To further evaluate the complementary effect of Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu decoction (YHJD) on patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). ⋯ YHJD is an effective and safe choice as a complementary therapy to improve HRQL and prolong PFS of stage Ⅲc EOC patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of direct current pulse stimulating acupoints of JiaJi (T10-13) and Ciliao (BL 32) with Han's Acupoint Nerve Stimulator on labour pain in women: a randomized controlled clinical study.
To assess the clinical effect and safety of direct current (DC) pulse produced by Han's Acupoint Nerve Stimulator in reduction (HANS) of labor pain. ⋯ The DC pulse produced by HANS may be a non-pharmacological alternative to labor pain with fewer side effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Xinfeng capsule improves pulmonary function in ankylosing spondylitis patients via NF-ΚB-iNOS-NO signaling pathway.
To study changes in the nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65)-inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway and the effects of Xinfeng capsules (XFC) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). ⋯ Patients with AS have local pathologic changes in the spinal cord and other joints. They also have decreased pulmonary function, which is negatively correlated with the NF-κB-iNOS-NO signaling pathway, oxidative indexes, and inflammatory factors. XFC improves rigidity and pain in spinal joints and other symptoms, laboratory indexes, and pulmonary function. The mechanism is possibly related to inhibition of the NF-KB-iNOS-NO signaling pathway.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of acupuncture anesthesia on acne vulgaris of pricking-bloodletting cupping: a single-blind randomized clinical trail.
To evaluate the effect on acne vulgaris of pricking-bloodletting cupping at Dazhui (GV 14) under acupuncture anesthesia, and establish whether providing anesthesia to the treatment area by manipulating Hegu (LI 4) and Quchi (LI 11) might have an additional therapeutic benefit. ⋯ Acupuncture anesthesia at Hegu (LI 4) and Quchi (LI 11) is an effective means of alleviating the pain of pricking-bloodletting cupping and reducing the duration of pain in the treatment area. Pricking-bloodletting cupping at Dazhui (GV 14) improves the skin lesions of patients with moderate acne vulgaris, but acupuncture anesthesia does not appear to have an additional therapeutic effect.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effectiveness of external Sanjierupi Gao on mastalgia caused by mammary gland hyperplasia: a placebo controlled trial.
To evaluate the curative effect of external application of the Chinese drug, Sanjierupi Gao, on mastalgia caused by mammary gland hyperplasia. ⋯ Application of Sanjierupi Gao can decrease mastalgia duration in patients with mammary gland hyperplasia during menstruation and alleviate the extent of mastalgia. The time to alleviate pain is psychologically influenced.
