| Abstract: | "The aim of this study is pursue the effect of herbal point-patch treatment on
allergic rhinitis patients by investigation of the changes of serum total IgE (T-IgE) and
eosinophile cationic protein (ECP) levels and through assessment of the results of SF-36
and rhinitis severity questionnaires. A prospective, randomized, single-blind, parallel,
controlled study was used. Forty- three eligible participants were selected from outpatients
of the Dept. of Ear, Nose, and Throat and Chinese medicine clinic, and 33 eligible participants completed the treatment satisfactorily. Participants used a Chinese herbal pointpatch or a placebo patch once a week, for three hours at a time, after being randomly
assigned to a control or an experimental group. Each treatment course was three weeks in
duration, and each participant underwent two courses of treatment. Before and after each course, participants evaluated the effectiveness of the treatment by completing a questionnaire, and blood samples were collected for T-IgE and ECP analysis. The data revealed
that the acupoint herbal patch is a valuable treatment for allergic rhinitis, especially in the
symptoms of sneezing, running and itchy nose. The results of the SF-36 indicate a distinct
improvement in GH (general health) and VT (vitality) in patients treated with acupoint
herbal patches. This study supports the belief that the acupoint herbal patch is an effective
treatment for allergic rhinitis and can significantly improve general health, social life and
vitality in quality of life." |
