Abstract:
Objective To explore a more effective way to enhance the clinical efficacy of cluster immunotherapy for perennial allergic rhinitis. Methods A total of 60 perennial allergic rhinitis patients were evenly randomized into treatment goup and control group. The two groups were given cluster immunotherapy, and the treatment group was given daily vesiculating moxibustion additionally . Before and after treatment, the scores of traditional Chinese medical constitution and the rhinitis quality of life ( QOL) were observed, and one year after treatment, the therapeutic effect and safety were evaluated. Results ( 1) One year after treatment, the treatment group showed better total clinical efficiency than the control group ( 96.67% vs 80.00%, P<0.05). ( 2) After treatment, the average scores of Qi deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution and special constitution were significantly lower than those before treatment in the treatment group ( P<0.01). The improvement of Qi deficiency constitution and yang deficiency constitution in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group ( P<0.05). ( 3) The total QOL scores and the scores of each dimension of QOL scale were improved in both groups, and the differences were significant except for the emotion dimension ( P<0.01). Insignificant differences were shown between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). ( 4) Two cases had grade 1 general adverse reaction and 5 cases had local adverse reaction during cluster immunotherapy. During vesiculating moxibustion, 3 cases had blistering and the blistering disappeared after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Daily vesiculating moxibustion combined with cluster immunity therapy is effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, showing good effect on improving Qi deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution and special constitution as well as the quality of life of the patients.
