Abstract:Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with ginger moxibustion on Yìnt?觃ng to treat allergic rhinitis with syndrome of deficient cold of lung qi, and to explore its feasibility and effectiveness. Methods From January 2017 to January 2018, 72 patients with allergic rhinitis admitted to the acupuncture department of Integrative Medicine Hospital of Minhang District in Shanghai from January 2017 to January 2018 were randomly divided into the treatment group (n = 36) and the control group (n = 36) by the method of allocation concealment. The treatment group used acupuncture combined with ginger moxibustion on Yìnt?觃ng, 20 min / time, 3 times / week, and the control group was treated with conventional Western medicine. Changes in nasal symptom scores (TNSS) were observed after 3 weeks of treatment in both groups. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in TNSS score between the two groups (P > 0.05). After 1 and 2 weeks of treatment, the TNSS scores of the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05), but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). After 3 weeks of treatment, the TNSS scores of the two groups were lower than before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the treatment group was lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After 3 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate was 88.92% in the treatment group and 77.83% in the control group. There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with ginger on Yìnt?觃ng is effective in treating allergic rhinitis with syndrome of deficient cold of lung qi, and it is superior to Western medicine treatment. It has no side effects and is worthy of clinical promotion.
