The clinical efficacy, recurrence rate and safety of Xuanlong Tongjiao Acupuncture in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) were observed. The differences in the efficacy of the three groups were compared in terms of the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS score), Total Nasal Nasal Symptoms Score Scale (TNNSS), Rhinoconjunctivitis Questionnaire (RQLQ), and Visual Appraisal Scale (VAS) of the AR patients before and after the treatment. We compared the efficacy differences among the three groups, and clarified the immediate and long-term efficacy and safety of Xuanlong Tongjiao acupuncture and pterygopalatine ganglion stabbing in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, as well as whether they have synergistic effects.

Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail:

Experimental grouping: Xuan Lung Tong Qiao group AR patients were randomly selected according to the randomized numerical table method. Recordings were made at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks of follow-up for the observation subjects, and blood specimens were collected before treatment and at the end of the 8th week of treatment for measurement. Acupuncture methods: The needles were Huatuo brand sterile single-use acupuncture needles (0.30×40 mm), provided by Suzhou Medical Supplies Factory. Selected points: Yingxiang, Bitong, Yintang, Fengchi, Lianjiao, Hegu, Ashigaru, Sanyinjiao. Operation: in supine position, after routine disinfection, the needle tip of Yingxiang point was directed to the nasal passage point, and the needle was transported with strong stimulation for 30s after getting qi, so that the whole nasal cavity and the surrounding area had a strong feeling of acidity and distension; the needle tip of the nasal passage point was stabbed obliquely upward inward, so that the sensation was diffused to the root of the nose, and the acupuncture points were stabbed; the needle tip of the Yintang point was inserted deeply into the root of the nose, and the sensation of the needle was diffused to the tip of the nose; the two Fengchi points were stabbed in the direction of the tip of the nose; and the Hetu, Lekou, Ashigarashiri, and Sanyinjiao points were stabbed with 0.5 mm of needle tip respectively according to the conventional method. Hetu, Lianqiu, Ashigaru and Sanyinjiao points were needled 0.5-1 inch respectively according to the routine. In the treatment group, acupuncture was performed once every other day and three times a week for 8 weeks, and the clinical efficacy of the treatment was calculated later. Because the disease is difficult to be cured, it is recommended that the patients insist on the treatment in order to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Pterygopalatine ganglion acupuncture group Selected AR patients in the group, position: the patient takes the supine position (the head is inclined to the opposite side), the operator sits on the patient's treatment side. Sterilization: 75% alcohol was used to sterilize the skin. Needles: 0.35mm×55mm sterile disposable acupuncture needles were used. Positioning: Skin positioning: from the lower edge of the zygomatic arch and the bone gap at the posterior edge of the mandibular coronoid process (you can ask the patient to open and close his/her mouth, and the bone surface where he/she can feel the movement is the coronoid process, and the point is set at the posterior edge of the coronoid process). Operation: The "betting hand" presses the skin at the fixed point, the "stabbing hand" enters the needle along the edge of the nail of the "betting hand", and the tip of the needle is inserted towards the contralateral Taiyang acupoint, which is equivalent to the inner and upper part of the fixed point, slightly in front of it. Needle sensation: The needle is inserted about 55mm, and there will be a discharge-like sensation around the nose, upper lip and nasolabial groove, and a nasal spray-like sensation and ventilation-like sensation when the needle is inserted. The needle is discharged as soon as it is inserted. After the operation, press the eye of the needle with a dry cotton ball for 3 minutes. Treatment: the treatment course is determined according to the condition: unilateral treatment, bilateral treatment alternately, especially serious bilateral treatment at the same time, treatment once a week, 8 times as a course of treatment, clinical efficacy of the treatment after a course of treatment statistics. Xuanlong Tongjiao acupuncture combined with pterygopalatine ganglion stabbing group Xuanlong Tongjiao acupuncture and pterygopalatine ganglion stabbing methods were the same as the previous group in terms of the points taken, the acupuncture method and the course of treatment.
