Methods： One hundred and eighty cases of the patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis were randomly divided into two groups, 90 cases in the warm needling group, treated by acupuncture plus warm needling moxibustion, and 90 cases in the acupuncture group, treated by acupuncture only, to observe the therapeutic effects after one course of the treatments. Results： The total effective rate was 95.6% in the warm needling group and 85.6% in the acupuncture group, with significant statistical difference in comparison between the two groups. Conclusion： The total effective rate of the warm needling moxibustion is better than that of the acupuncture treatment in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis.展开更多
Allergic rhinitis is mainly characterized by recurrent sneezing and runny nose. The author has treated 82 cases of allergic rhinitis with aconite cake-partitioned moxibustion and now it is reported as follows.
