Methods Forty patients were given acupuncture therapy, Fengchf （风池 GB 20, bilaterally）, Dazhui （大椎 GV 14）, Fengmen （风门 BL 12, bilaterally）, Feishu （肺俞 BL 13, bilaterally） and Shangyingxiang （上迎香 EX-HN8, bilaterally） were selected. After needle withdrawal, a fire cup was applied between GV 14 and BL 13, and the cup was retained for 10 min. Treatment for 15 times was considered as 1 course of treatment. Three days were free from treatment between 2 courses, and 3 courses were needed. The curative effect was evaluated after treatment ends, and follow-up visit was performed one year after treatment. Results The scores of nasal symptom and itching symptom after treatment ends and one year after treatment significantly reduced when compared with that before treatment （all P〈0.05）, the difference was not statistically significant when compared the scores of nasal symptom and itching symptom one year after treatment with that after treatment ends （both P〉O.O5）.According to the follow-up visit performed one year after treatment, the markedly effective and effective cases reduced, ineffective cases increased, and the total effective rate declined slightly. The serum IgE levels, after treatment ends I-（164.79±44.29） IU/mL and one year after treatment [（180.71±52.81）IU/ mL] , both significantly reduced when compared with that before treatment [（380.12±61.45） IU/mL, both P〈0.05] , the serum igE level one year after treatment increased when compared with that after treatment ends, but the difference was not statistically significant （P〉O.05）. Conclusion （1） Significant short-term and long-term curative effects have been obtained during the treatment of ＂itching symptom＂ of allergic rhinitis from the perspective of ＂wind＂, （2） the mechanism of action may be related with the decrease of serum IgE level, �展开更多
