Abstract

Objective

To observe the clinical efficacy of external application of Chinese medicine following tapping using a plum-blossom needle for allergic rhinitis.

Methods

All 328 cases were randomized into an observation group of 206 cases, Chinese medicine group of 70 cases and point application group of 52 cases.

Results

The differences between the observation and Chinese medicine groups (P<0.01) and between the observation and point application group (P<0.05) were both of statistical meaning. The cases in the observation obtained the best effect, the point application group obtained a moderate effect and the Chinese medicine group obtained the least effect. A younger age and an increased number of treatments contributed to a better effect.

Conclusion

External application of Chinese medicine following tapping using a plum-blossom needle is safe and effective for allergic rhinitis.
