METHODS. Points of a group are selected. The two conducting wires of Ding's Treatment Machine are exposed outside the skin. When you turn the rocking arm of the machine, there is an electric current flowing into the body through the needles. The current intensity had weak, moderate, strong and overstrong stimulus. The treatment is going on every day or every other day. A pair of points on the head, arms and legs are used respectively at a time. A consists of 10-15 times. The resting time between two courses of treatment is 5-7 days. RESULTS. Among 100 cases of schizophrenia treated by the machine, 63 cases had clinical remission, 24 basic remission, 11 improvement, and 2 no effect. Among controlled group by treated combined with chlopromazine, 22 (31.43%) cases had clinical remission, 18 (25.7%) basic remission. There was a significant difference (P 0.01) between the remission rates of the two groups. The study of the machine on the brain, lung, liver and kidney in rabbits, effects of the machine on the release of transmitters of monoamines in the tissues at different areas of brain in rats and effects of the machine on the mean value of cAMP content and activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in the tissues at different areas of brain in rats showed the treatment mechanisms of the machine in accordance with ECT therapy. CONCLUDING REMARKS. Ding's Therapy is a combined treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for mental disorder in P.R. China. The operation is convenient, simple, easy and safe, which is easy to use in the developing countries and at home ward. The results of investigation showed that the effects of Family Mental Rehabilitation were increased (P 0.005). The ability of social adaptation and independent life was intensified (P 0.001).
