Abstract :
To evaluate the whether the therapeutic effective of electro-acupuncture analgesia (EAA) is a very important and difficult job. Considering several complex influence factors, a unique approach based on both analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) is put forward. Initially, a new evaluation model combining the above two methods, both fuzzy and AHP, is established by adopting the fuzzy mathematics into hierarchical assessment. Then, various EAA relevant factors are analyzed to expose the effective regularity. In addition, steps of the fuzzy AHP based EAA evaluation are set up. Finally, an actual calculation case is provided to verify the feasibility of the model.
