Clinical Observation On Treatment Of Chronic Eczema By Fire Needle Combined With Auricular Point Sticking

Objective:This study compared the effects of fire needle therapy combined with auricular point sticking(treatment group)and topical Desonide cream(control group)on the clinical efficacy and recurrence of patients with chronic eczema,in order to provide a basis for the clinical treatment of chronic eczema.Methods:In this clinical study,72 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups.36 cases in the treatment group and 36 cases in the control group.The treatment group was treated with fire needle therapy combined with auricular point sticking;the control group was treated with desonide cream.Both groups were treated for 21 days,among which fire needle therapy was treated once a week,auricular point sticking was applied twice a week.The EASI score(Eczema area and severity index),pruritus score,DLQI score(Dermatology life quality index),SAS score(Self-Rating Anxiety Scale)、 SDS score(Self-Rating Depression Scale)and recurrence 3 months after treatment were compared between the two groups.The above results were analyzed by SPSS24.0 statistical software.Results:1.The comparison of gender,age,course of disease,skin lesion distribution,EASI score,pruritus score,DLQI score,SAS score,and SDS score between the two groups before treatment was not statistically significant and comparable(P>0.05).2.The EASI scores of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment,P<0.05,the treatment group was better than the control group,P<0.05;The pruritus score of the two groups after treatment decreased compared with that before treatment,P<0.05,the treatment group was better than the control group,P<0.05.3.The DLQI scores of the two groups after treatment were lower than before treatment,the scores of the treatment group were lower than those of the control group,P<0.05.After treatment,the SAS score and SDS score of the two groups were lower than before treatment,and the comparison between the groups was P<0.05.4.The total effective rate of the treatment group was 93.93%,and the total effective rate of the control group was 82.35%,P < 0.05,the difference was statistically significant.5.There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence between the two groups of recovered patients within 1 month and 2 months after treatment(P>0.05),and the difference in recurrence within 3 months after treatment was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:1.Fire needle therapy combined with auricular point sticking and desonide cream are effective and safe.Fire needle therapy combined with auricular point sticking has more advantages in improving clinical symptoms,relieving itching,reducing anxiety and depression,and improving quality of life.2.Fire needle therapy combined with auricular point sticking is better than desonide cream in controlling recurrence.
