热敏灸与药物治疗过敏性鼻炎疗效对比观察

Comparative Observations on the Therapeutic Effects of Heat-sensitive Point Moxibustion Versus Medication on Allergic Rhinitis

目的比较热敏灸与常规西药治疗过敏性鼻炎的疗效差异。方法将80例过敏性鼻炎患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组40例。观察组采用热敏灸,穴取肺俞、肾俞、印堂;对照组采用常规西药治疗。对两组患者疗效进行比较。结果观察组治疗前后及停止治疗3个月后症状体征总积分比较差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01,P<0.05);对照组治疗前后症状体征总积分比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),停止治疗3个月后比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。观察组和对照组治疗2个疗程后症状体征总积分比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组和对照组停止治疗3个月后症状体征总积分比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论热敏灸治疗过敏性鼻炎疗效明显优于常规西药治疗,疗效更持久,复发率较低。

Objective To compare the efficacies of heat-sensitive point moxibustion versus routine Western medicine treatment for allergic rhinitis. Method Eighty patients with allergic rhinitis were randomly allocated to observation and control groups, 40 cases each. The treatment group received heat-sensitive point moxibustion on selected Feishu （BL13）, Shenshu （BL23） and Yintang （Ex-HN3） and the control group, routine Western medicine treatment. Therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups of patients. Result In the observation group, there was a statistically significant difference in the symptom-sign total score between before and after treatment （P〈0.01） or at three months after treatment （P〈0.05）. In the control group, there was a statistically significant difference in the symptom-sign total score between before and after treatment （P〈0.05） but no statistically significant difference between before and at three months after treatment （P〉0.05）. At three months after treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in the symptom-sign total score between the observation and control groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion Heat-sensitive point moxibustion has a better therapeutic effect on allergic rhinitis than routine Western medicine treatment. The therapeutic effect lasts longer and the recurrence rate is lower in the patients treated by heat-sensitive point moxibustion.
