Objective,2,To observe the clinical efficacy of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with western medicine on allergic rhinitis in children.,Methods,2,One hundred children with allergic rhinitis were randomly divided into the control group and treatment group, 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with western medicine according to the guidelines, and the treatment group was treated with wrist-ankle acupuncture based on the treatment for the control group. The course of treatment in both groups was 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy and the recurrence rate were observed, the clinical scores of symptoms and signs and the serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) level were compared, and the safety evaluation was performed.,Results,2,①The total effective rate of the treatment group was 90.00%, the that of the control group was 58.00%, the clinical efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (,P,<,0.05). ② Compared with those before treatment, the scores of symptoms and signs and the serum IgE level in both groups were decreased after treatment(,P,<,0.05). After treatment, the scores of symptoms and signs and the serum IgE level in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (,P,<,0.05). ③Followed up for 3 months, the recurrence rate of the treatment group was 6.67%, which significantly lower than that of the control group (27.59%) (,P,<,0.05). ④During the treatment, there were no abnormalities in the safety related indexes of children in both groups, and no obvious adverse reactions were found.,Conclusion,2,Compared with the treatment with western medicine alone, wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with western medicine shows good efficacy in the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children, which can better improve the clinical symptoms and reduce the recurrence rate, with good safety.
