Abstract:

Objective: To explore the effect of combined acupoint desensitizing therapy. Methods: A total of 419 cases of allergic rhinitis accompanied with asthma were treated by combined acupoint desensitizing therapy with positive allergen extract on acupoints of head and upper back region. Results: After 3 courses of treatment, skin test repeated with responding allergen extract showed that the scope of redness and swelling of skin were smaller than those before treatment, P < 0. 01. The 3H-TdR incorporation lymphocyte transformation rate, acidophil count, IgA, IgG level and E-rosette formation rate of acupoint desensitizing group were different significantly from those of the two control groups (the acupoint 0. 85 % normal saline injection group and the subcutaneous desensitizing group), P < 0. 01 or P < 0. 05. Follow-up study for over 3 years showed that the markedly effective rate of the acupoint desensitizing group was 68. 73 %, the effective rate 29. 12 % and total effective rate, 97. 85 %. The effect was higher than that of the two control groups, P < 0. 01. Conclusion: Combined acupoint desensitizing therapy is valuable and worthy of popularizing in treating patients of allergic rhinitis accompanied asthma.
