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.
