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.

| Simplified McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Score：Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | This is a simple, single-dimensional method for measuring pain intensity, which consists of a 10-centimeter horizontal line. The left end is marked with "No pain", and the right end is marked with "most severe pain". The patient marks a point on the line representing the current intensity of their pain.The higher the score, the worse the result. | One week from enrollment to the end of treatment |
| Simplified McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Score：Pain Index (PRI) | It contains 15 pain description words, which are divided into two categories: sensory items (11 words) : throbbing pain, shooting pain, stabbing pain, sharp pain, spastic pain, biting pain, heat-burning pain, aching pain, heavy pain, touch pain, tearing pain. Emotional items (4 words) : Tiredness - feeling exhausted, nauseating, fear, punishment - feeling tormented. PRI scoring criteria: 0 = None; 1= mild; 2= moderate; 3= Severe. Calculate the total score. The higher the score, the worse the result. | One week from enrollment to the end of treatment |
| Simplified McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Score-Current Pain Intensity (PPI) | This is a single overall score for the current intensity of pain. It adopts a 5-point scoring method: 0= painless; 1= Mild pain; 2= uncomfortable pain; 3= Distress pain; 4= Terrifying pain; 5= Extreme pain. The higher the score, the worse the result. | One week from enrollment to the end of treatment |
| Gallstones Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Scoring | Referring to the relevant content of the "Clinical Guidelines for New Traditional Chinese Medicine Drugs (Trial)" 2002 edition "Gallstones" chapter, a quantitative scoring table for TCM syndromes was formulated. This study scored three symptoms: right upper abdominal pain, tenderness in the gallbladder area, and nausea and vomiting. The main symptoms (pain type) were scored as 0 points, 3 points, 6 points, and 9 points respectively for asymptomatic, mild symptoms, moderate symptoms, and severe symptoms. For secondary symptoms (nausea and vomiting), scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 are given based on the above conditions. The minimum value is 0 points and the maximum value is 12 points.The scoring time is before treatment and 12 hours after treatment.The higher the score, the worse the result. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Biliary tract ultrasound | Maximum longitudinal diameter (L) and anterior-posterior diameter (W) of the gallbladder | One week from enrollment to the end of treatment |
| The levels of plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) |
