Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of the treatment of scar formation after severe acne type Ⅳ by acupuncture.Methods:In Henan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, 60 patients with acne who met the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to the randomized controlled grouping method. The observation group(9 male and 21 female, age 18-29) was treated with fire needle and salicylic acid.The control group(10 male and 20 female, age 18-27 ) was treated with needle and salicylic acid.The patients in both groups were treated with tanshinone capsule and salicylate acne pill orally.The course of treatment was 8 weeks. The two groups of clinical efficacy, acne severity score scale (Gags) to evaluate symptom improvement, vancouver scar scale, acne scar weight score were observed and compared.Results:Eight weeks after treatment, the effect rate was 90.00% (27/30) in the observation group and 68.97% (20/29) in the control group. The scores of Vancouver scar scale were (3.66 ± 0.91) in the observation group and (5.06 ± 1.09) in the control group ( P< 0.01). The scores of acne scar weight score were (39.40 ± 16.90) in the observation group and (53.16 ± 17.19) in the control group( P< 0.01). The scores of Gags in the observation group and the control group were (10.31 ± 2.14) and (17.55 ± 2.63)( P< 0.01), respectively. Conclusions:The treatment of Ⅳ grade severe acne skin lesions by fire needle is safe, effective, reliable and easy to operate.
