Summary:To observe the clinical effect in treatment of globus hystericus with acupoint bloodletting and thunder-fire moxibustion therapy. Twenty patients were subject to bloodletting at Gānshù (▪ BL 18) in both sides and to thunder-fire moxibustion at Dànzhōng (▪ CV 17) and Zhōngwan (▪ CV 12). Once a day, twenty treatments were given.
