The patients should be in line with the diagnostic criteria of CFS, and the diagnostic criteria of kidney and spleen yang deficiency in TCM. The age of the patients should between 18 and 55 years old. Sixty patients are randomized into setting fire on a mountain at ST36 treatment group and common acupuncture control group. The corresponding treatment is lasted for three treatment courses, before the treatment and after each treatment course, evaluate the symptom of patients by quantitative score way.Ruslts:(1)Before treatment, two groups of the baseline data(age, sexuality,onset, severity of the disease, symptom score) are comparability(p>0.05). (2) Comparative efficacy of disease for two groups:for setting fire on a mountain at ST36 treatment group, recovery is two, markedly is twenty, effective is six, no effect is one, the efficient rate is 96.67%. For common acupuncture control group, recovery is one, markedly is twelve, effective is eleven, no effect is three, the efficient rate is 88.89%.The Radit statistical analysis shows that the difference between each group is significant(P<0.05). (3)The symptom score of two groups after treatment:the score of FSS and SPHERE in treatment group is lower than in control group, the difference between each group is significant(P<0.05). the score of TCM clinical manifestations in treatment group is lower than in control group, the distinguished difference between each group is significant(P<0.001).(4) The symptom score of two groups in follow-up:the score of FSS and SPHERE in treatment group is lower than in control group, the difference between each group is significant(P<0.05). the score of TCM clinical manifestations in treatment group is lower than in control group, the distinguished difference between each group is significant(P<0.001).Conclusion:Setting fire on a mountain at ST36 in CFS has distinguished clinical effect for improving fatigue, emotional disorder and TCM symptom, which has a better clinical effect than control group in relieving symptoms and rehabilitating normal mood.
