Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the clinicalefficacies of ginger-partitioned moxibustion in three different periods, i.e. the canicular days, the Spring Equinox, and the Autumnal Equinox, in treating allergic Rhinitis.MethodEighty-nine patients with allergic rhinitis were elected and divided into3 groups by using the random number table (canicular group, Spring Equinox group, and Autumnal Equinox group), to receive the same treatment with same point selection. The change of serum IgE and improvement of symptoms were observed after the intervention in the three groups.ResultThe three groups all showed significant decrease of serum IgE and improvement in the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (P<0.05), and the therapeutic efficacy of the canicular group was markedly higher than that of the Spring Equinox group (P<0.05) and the Autumnal Equinox group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe canicular days are the optimal timeperiodfor the treatment of allergicrhinitis.
