Methods:  Diagnostic and therapeutic data from 166 patients in a coma due to neurological

diseases were retrospectively collected. Eighty-seven comatose patients received conventional

treatment, and 79 patients received conventional treatment+the modified ‘Xingnao Kaiqiao’

acupuncture technique. The recovery outcomes and times of the two groups were then compared.

A Cox regression analysis was then performed to assess the impact of acupuncture treatment on

recovery time in recovered and non-recovered groups.
