Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with pinching along the spine on allergic rhinitis (AR) in children.Methods:A total of 65 children with AR were collected from February 2017 through to December 2018 and they were randomly divided into a combined treatment group with wrist-ankle acupuncture,pinching along the spine and west medication (combined treatment group,32 cases) and a west medication group (33 cases).In the west medication group,loratadine was prescribed for oral administration.In the combined treatment group,on the base of the medication as the west medication group,the wrist-ankle acupuncture was adopted in combination with pinching along the spine.Before and after treatment,the symptoms and physical signs were scored and the clinical effect was observed in the children of the two groups.Results:After the treatment and in the follow-up,the scores of the symptoms and physical signs in the combined treatment group were lower than those of the west medication group,indicating a statistical significance (all P ＜ 0.05).The total effective rate was 93.7％ in the combined treatment group,which was higher than 63.63％ in the west medication group,indicating a statistical significance (P ＜0.05).Conclusion:The combined treatment of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with pinching along the spine and Ioratadine effectively relieves the clinical symptoms and the physical signs in AR children.The clinical effect of this combined treatment is better than the simple use of loratadine.
