Therapeutic Effect Of Heat-Sensitive Moxibustion On Allergic Rhinitis

Objective:Using a synchronous randomized controlled clinical research method,by comparing the difference in clinical efficacy between heat-sensitive moxibustion and acupuncture in the treatment of allergic rhinitis,to look for new methods and means for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.Method:60 allergic rhinitis cases were selected and randomly divided into heat-sensitive moxibustion group and acupuncture group and were treated respectively with heatsensitive moxibustion and acupuncture.Heat-sensitive moxibustion group selects the area on Du Mai meridian between the Shangxing(GV23)and Yintang acupoints,Yingxiang(LI20),Dazhui(GV14),Feishu(GB20),Shenque(CV8)and other areas in the high-incidence area of AR heat sensitivity.After detecting the sensitizing points,select the 2 points with the strongest moxibustion for treatment,The standard for each treatment is the disappearance of heat sensitivity,the patients are treated every Monday,Wednesday and Friday,2 weeks as a course of treatment,4 courses in total;the acupuncture group chooses Yingxiang(LI20)and Dazhui(GV14),Feishu(BL13),Yintang,Shenshu(BL23)and Guanyuan(CV4)are the main points,among which patients with lung deficiency and cold syndrome are matched with Fengchi(GB20);patients with spleen-qi deficiency syndrome are matched with Pishu(BL20)and Zusanli(ST36);patients with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome are matched with Taixi(KI3);patients with heat in lung are matched with Chize(LU5).The method of replenishing and reducing for tonification is applicated and leave the needle for 30 minutes after the Qi arrival.The treatment cycle and course of treatment are the same as those of the heat-sensitive moxibustion group.The changes in the Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS)and the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(RQLQ)before and after treatment were compared between the two groups,and the efficacy was evaluated.Result:After treatment,29 cases in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group were effective,and 1 case was ineffective,with a total effective rate of 96.7%;in the acupuncture group,3 cases were markedly effective,24 cases were effective,and 3 cases were ineffective,with a total effective rate of 90%.The total effective rate of the two groups is P<0.05,which proves that there is a significant difference between the two groups of patients after the treatment and the heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy is better than the acupuncture group;in terms of changes in the Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS),the two groups after treatment and before treatment there are significant differences in comparison(P<0.01),suggesting that both treatment methods can improve the nasal symptoms of AR patients,but the reduction in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group is more significant than that in the acupuncture group;in terms of the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(RQLQ),P<0.01,the difference was statistically significant,indicating that the two treatment methods can improve the quality of life,but the heat-sensitive moxibustion group is better than the control group.Conclusion:Heat-sensitive moxibustion and acupuncture treatment of allergic rhinitis can achieve good clinical effects;Heat-sensitive moxibustion is also effective for white people;The heat-sensitive moxibustion is better than acupuncture therapy for treating allergic rhinitis.
