Objective:To observe the clinical therapeutic effects on nervous olfactory disorder treated with acupuncture at three nasal points and scalp acupuncture.Methods:Acupuncture was applied in 30 eligible patients with nervous olfactory disorder.The points included three nasal points,i.e.,Yíngxiāng(迎香 LI 20),Shàngyíngxiāng(上迎香 EX-HN 8)and Yìntáng(印堂EX-HN 3),ézhōngxiàn(额中线 middle line of forehead,MS1)and bilateral Nièhòuxiàn(颖后线 posterior temporal line,MS11).The even-needling technique was used to stimulate the three nasal points to ensure deqi. In scalp acupuncture,the needle was rotated continuously at 200 times per min,for 2 min at each scalp acupuncture line.The needles were retained for 40 min at above points and lines and were manipulated once every 20 min during needle retaining.The treatment was given once a day,6-day treatment was as one course and the next course of treatment started after the interval of 1 day.Totally,4 courses of treatment were required.Before and after treatment,T&T olfactory was adopted to test the olfactory function and the score was compared in order to evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results:Of 30 cases,8 cases were cured,20 cases remarkably effective and 2 cases failed.The total effective rate was 93%.Conclusion:Acupuncture at three nasal points and scalp acupuncture are effective approach to nervous olfactory disorder.
