| Object: To observe the clinical efficacy of non-invasive treatment of allergic rhinitis(AR)by combining auricular point pressure bean therapy with intermittent medicine cake moxibustion,and to discuss the theoretical basis of auricular point pressure bean therapy and intermittent medicine cake moxibustion therapy for the treatment of allergic rhinitis,in order to guide clinical treatment.Methods: A total of 66 patients with allergic rhinitis were included in the study,and they were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method,with 33 cases each.The control group was treated with auricular point pressure bean,and the auricular acupoint patch was replaced every 3 days;the observation group was treated with intermittent medicine cake moxibustion therapy on the basis of the control group,once every other day,and changes in the Total Nasal Symptom Scale(TNSS),Total Nasal Concomitant Symptom Scale(TNNSS)and Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(RQLQ)scores were observed before and after treatment for 6 weeks to compare the differences in efficacy between the two groups.Results:1.Comparison in two groups: At the end of 6 weeks of treatment,the TNSS,TNNSS and RQLQ scores of both groups were significantly reduced compared with those before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01),indicating that both auricular point pressure bean therapy and intermittent medicine cake moxibustion therapy had certain clinical efficacy in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.2.Comparison between two groups: At the end of 6 weeks of treatment,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05)in terms of TNSS scores and their scores in nasal congestion and TNNSS scores;statistically significant(P<0.01)in terms of RQLQ scores,including those for daily activities,non-nasal eye symptoms,and nasal symptoms,and statistically significant(P<0.01)differences in terms of practical problems,and emotions,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the control group was76.7%,and the total effective rate of the observation group was 93.8%,and the difference in efficacy between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference in efficacy between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).It indicates that auricular point pressure bean combined with intermittent medicine cake moxibustion therapy can effectively improve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis,and the efficacy is better than that of auricular point pressure bean therapy alone.Conclusions:1.Auricular point pressure bean combined with intermittent medicine cake moxibustion therapy and simple auricular point pressure bean therapy both have therapeutic effect on AR.2.Auricular point pressure bean combined with intermittent medicine cake moxibustion therapy is superior to auricular point pressure bean therapy alone in the treatment of AR. |
