4. Patients were treated by ear-point therapy with failure.

Method:
1. 10 cases were treated by the ear-point therapy as the control group (GI) and 30 cases were treated by the qigong and ear-point therapies (GII).
2. GII did the qigong exercise two three times a day, 50 minute each.

Discussion:
1. The qigong and ear-point therapies do not use any drug or operation. It is good for treating 0.5 cm diameter stones and sandy stone. The curative effect is not superior to Chinese and Western medication. Greasy food and high protein can be taken in the treatment course,
2. Diagnosed gallstone with ß-ultrasonic is different from clinical observation. ultrasonic's result is only for reference.
3. The cases of gallstone in females are more than that in males, which is considered to be related to females' climacteric. The development form of the gallstone is connected with the cholesterol content and endocrine disorders.
