Abstract:
Objective
To observe the clinical effect of needle-embedding therapy on allergic rhinitis in children based on collateral disease theory.
Methods
A total of 60 patients who met the standards were selected from the outpatient department of our hospital from January 2017 to June 2018, and were randomly divided into two groups:30 patients in the treatment group and 30 patients in the control group. Patients in the control group were treated with kirritan syrup orally, and patients in the treatment group were treated with needleembedding therapy on the basis of the treatment for control group; both groups were treated for 14 days. Nasal obstruction examination and nasal symptom scoring were performed at the time of visit and at 14 days of treatment, and the above results and curative effects were observed and compared.
Results
One patient in the treatment group failed to complete the treatment due to missing the interview, while one patient in the control group quit the treatment due to treatment for myocarditis; the rest of the children could cooperate to complete the treatment. The total effective rate of the treatment group was 93.1%(27/29), which was significantly higher than that of the control group(69.0%,20/29),and there was statistical difference(P<0.05). Nasal symptom score of the two groups was much lower than that before treatment(P<0.05), and it was lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P<0.05).The nasal resistance of the two groups was lower than that before the treatment(P<0.05), but it was more obvious in the treatment group(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Based on the theory of collateral disease, needle-embedding therapy has a remarkable effect in the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children, which is worthy of clinical application.
