Methods Sixty cases of PFP at different stages were divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the sequence for visit, and 30 patients were included in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated by using drugs, acupuncture （shallow puncture and subexcite） and microwave therapy during the acute stage, and they were subjected to electroacupuncture （EA） （heavy stimulation and penetration needling）, acupoint injection, electrotherapy and massage during the convalescence stage. In contrast, the patients in the control group were treated simply with drugs, and the therapeutic methods during the convalescence stage were the same to those for the treatment group, and the therapeutic effect of the two groups was observed after three treatment courses. Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was 100.0% （30/30）, the cured rate after one treatment course was 48.2% （13/27）, the cured rate after two treatment courses was 44.4% （12/27）, and the cured rate after three treatment courses was 7.4% （2/27）. The total effective rate in the control group was 90.0% （27/30）, the cured rate after one treatment course was 5.5% （1/18）, the cured rate after two treatment courses was 27.8% （5/18）, and the cured rate after three treatment courses was 66.7% （12/18）. The therapeutic effect and the treatment courses for healing of the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group （P0.05）. Conclusion the therapeutic effect of different therapeutic methods on PFP is remarkable.展开更多

The main purpose of this work was to investigate the impact of the therapeutic program developed in a Psychiatric Day Hospital (of Faro-Portugal) on the clinical stability of the patients. It is a descriptive-correlational retrospective study, implemented through the consultation of the SCLINIC computer platform regarding the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. The records of 127 users were analysed. There was a predominance of mood disorders (n = 55;43.3%), followed by schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders (n = 43, 33.9%). The majority of patients had a structured occupational plan after discharge (n = 106, 83.46%). In the year following the frequency of Day Hospital, compared to the year prior to admission, there was a reduction in the number of full-time hospitalizations, outpatient visitations/consultations, prescribed drugs and emergency episodes, with statistically significant differences. The positive impact of the frequency of Day Hospital had on patients’ clinical stability was the improvement in all studied variables. The Psychiatric Day Hospital of Faro-Portugal contributes to decreasing the number of full time hospitalizations, outpatient visitations/consultations and emergency episodes, maintaining patients’ clinical stability and reducing the public financial costs related to their therapeutic intervention.展开更多
