Summary
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental disorder that affects patients' physical
health and quality of life. Although traditional acupuncture therapy has certain advantages
in improving MDD, there are still some limitations, such as being time-consuming and some
people having a fear of acupuncture. Therefore, intradermal needle therapy will be chosen in
the treatment of MDD in this study, which is more convenient, shallow needling, and gentle
than traditional acupuncture therapy. The study is designed to investigate the therapeutic
effect and safety of intradermal needles for MDD.
