Objective: The comparison of the remote and recent therapeutic effects on perennial allergic rhinitis was carried on among single application of acupoint-thread embedding, west medicine (certirizine + fl ixonase) and allied therapy. Method: Ninety cases were randomized into thread-embedding group, west medicine group and embedding+ west medicine group (allied-therapy group), 30 cases in each one.In thread embedding group, Yingxiang (迎香 LI 20) and Feishu (肺俞 BL 13) were selected for thread embedding, once a week, totally 4 treatments were required. In west medicine group, certirizine tablet 10 mg in combination with fl ixonase sprayer was applied once per day, continuously for 30 days in treatment.In allied-therapy group, both of the above methods were adopted continuously for 30 days in treatment. The therapeutic effects were in statistics at the end of treatment and 1 year later. Results: At the end of treatment, in thread-embedding group, 21 cases were remarkably effective, 3 cases effective and 6 cases no effect. In west medicine group, 20 cases were remarkably effective, 3 cases effective and 7 cases no effect. In allied-therapy group, 23 cases were remarkably effective, 2 cases effective and 5 cases no effect. It was shown in statistics that there was no significant difference in therapeutic effects among three groups (P＞0.05). But one year after the end of treatment, it was indicated that in thread-embedding group, 3 cases were remarkably effective, 10 cases effective and 17 cases no effect; in west medicine group, 2 cases were remarkably effective, 9 cases effective and 19 cases no effect; in allied-therapy group, 7 cases were remarkably effective, 11 cases effective and 12 cases no effect. The significant difference in the therapeutic effects had not been presented in the comparison between thread-embedding group and west medicine group (P＞0.05), but that had been presented between allied-therapy group with either of the groups with single therapy applied (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Quite good recent therapeutic effect of either acupoint-thread embedding or west medicine (certirizine+ flixonase) was achieved on perennial allergic rhinitis. The remote therapeutic effect of allied therapy was more advantageous than that of single application of either thread embedding or west medicine.
