1. Title: Effect of Electroacupuncture on Severe Acute Pancreatitis with Multiple Organ Disfunction Syndrome patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial 2. Research center: single center 3. Design of the research: A randomized, double-blind and parallel controlled study 4. Object of the research: The patients over 18 years that met the criteria of SAP and with more than 2 organs failure. 5. Sample size of the research: A total of 220patients,110 cases in each group 6. Interventions: The acupuncture points for electroacupuncture are Zusanli(ST36), Xiajuxu(ST39), Hegu(LI4), Neiguan(PC6) points . Participants in the treatment group underwent 30 minutes acupuncture (0.30mm×70mm) at above points once a day for seven days. After"Deqi",electroacupuncture stimulation apparatus (HANS G6805-2, Huayi Co, Shanghai, China) is connected and maintained the end of treatment. Participants in the control group received shallow needling (0.30mm×25mm) at nonacupoints (located 1 inch beside acupoints). Specifically, the depth of needle insertion into nonacupoints is 3-5mm and avoided manual stimulation and no "Deqi" without actual current output. 7. Aim of the research: To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on Severe Acute Pancreatitis with Multiple Organ Disfunction Syndrome. 8. Outcome #Primary outcomes: All-cause 28-day mortality. Secondary outcomes: Duration of organ failure; The incidence of pancreatic necrotic tissue infection; Time for enteral nutrition to reach the standard (30kcal/kg); Mechanical ventilation time; Length of hospital stay 9. The estimated duration of the study#2 years.
This study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled and long-term follow-up design. In this study, Zusanli(ST36), Xiajuxu(ST39), Hegu(LI4), Neiguan(PC6) were selected for electroacupuncture treatment, accompanied with evaluating the effects on 28-day mortality in SAP patients with MODS, as well as the duration of organ failure, the incidence of pancreatic necrotic tissue infection and length of hospital stay . To clarify the effect of electroacupuncture on SAP patients with MODS is of great significance to the clinical applications and popularization of traditional acupuncture treatment across the world.

Participants in the treatment group underwent 60 minutes acupuncture (0.30mm×70mm) at Zusanli(ST36), Xiajuxu(ST39), Hegu(LI4), Neiguan(PC6) once a day for seven days. After"Deqi", electroacupuncture stimulation apparatus(HANS G6805-2, Huayi Co, Shanghai, China) is connected with the density wave (2/100 Hz), width 0.25 ms, intensity of 1 \~ 30 mA (gradually increase to the patient's maximum tolerance) and maintained the end of treatment.
Participants in the sham electroacupuncture group received shallow needling (0.30mm×25mm) at nonacupoints (located 1 inch beside acupoints).. Specifically, the depth of needle insertion into nonacupoints is 3-5mm and avoided manual stimulation and no "Deqi" without actual current output, and retained the needle for the same time as treatment group
