Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of intradermal needle therapy in treating chronic pharyngitis.Method Sixty patients with chronic pharyngitis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by intradermal needle therapy at Lieque (LU 7) and Zhaohai (KI 6), while the control group was by Compound Borax solution plus Cydiodine Buccal tablets. The symptoms were scored before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The symptom scores were markedly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.01). The symptom score of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Intradermal needle therapy is an effective method in treating chronic pharyngitis.
