Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the combined effects of acupuncture and paroxetine on mild to moderate depression, focusing on the role of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and DNA methylation in patients.
- A total of 66 patients were divided into an observation group (acupuncture + medication) and a control group (medication only), with both groups assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) before treatment, during treatment, and after follow-up.
- Results showed significant improvements in depression symptoms for both groups, but the observation group had better outcomes compared to the control group in several areas, highlighting the potential benefits of acupuncture in conjunction with medication.

Fluoxetine hydrochloride, a common treatment method, can inhibit 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) recycling in the presynaptic membrane; however, the efficacy of a single drug is inadequate. At present, mild-to-moderate depression can be treated with acupuncture of ghost caves, but the clinical curative effect of combined therapy with fluoxetine hydrochloride has not been sufficiently reported.
