Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of bloodletting cupping at Dazhui (GV14) plus scraping in treating hordeolum. Method Forty-four patients with hordeolum were randomized into a control group and a treatment group, 22 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by bloodletting cupping at Dazhui, while the treatment group was by bloodletting cupping at Dazhui plus scraping. The size of the infection on eyelid was observed before and after treatment, and the recovery rate was calculated. Result The total effective rate was 81.8% in the control group versus 95.5% in the treatment group, and the total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); the sizes of the eyelid infection were significantly reduced in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and the reduction in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Bloodletting cupping at Dazhui plus scraping can effectively improve the symptoms, reduce infection size, and enhance the clinical efficacy in treating hordeolum.
