Summary

Guided by traditional meridian and acupoint theory, conducting standardized, large-sample, multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the clinical efficacy of pattern differentiation and meridian-based acupoint selection for biliary colic across multiple levels can provide high-quality research evidence for developing evidence-based guidelines or optimal treatment protocols. This holds significant importance for enhancing the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating biliary colic and promoting its widespread clinical application. Therefore, this study will conduct a multicenter, large-sample randomized controlled trial comparing the clinical effects of acupuncture at Yanglingquan (GB34) versus drug therapy for acute cholecystitis biliary colic. It aims to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment for acute cholecystitis biliary colic.
