OBJECTIVE@#To compare the curative effect between bloodletting at tip of ear with different amounts combined with western medication and western medication alone for early-stage stye.@*METHODS@#A total of 108 patients with early-stage stye were randomly divided into a 50 μL group (36 cases, 4 cases dropped off), a 100 μL group (36 cases, 2 cases dropped off) and a western medication group (36 cases, 5 cases dropped off). The patients in the western medication group were treated with levofloxacin eye drops and levofloxacin hydrochloride eye gel. Based on the treatment of the western medication group, the patients in the 50 μL group were treated with 50 μL bloodletting (about 3 drops) at tip of ear while the patients in the 100 μL group were treated with 100 μL bloodletting (about 6 drops) at tip of ear; the bloodletting was given once a day for 3 days. After treatment, the changes of visual analogue scale (VAS) and clinical effect were observed, and the patients were followed up by telephone on the 8th day.@*RESULTS@#After treatment, the VAS score in each group was reduced (0.05). One week after the onset of the disease, all the patients in the 50 μL group and 100 μL group were cured, and one patient in the western medication group was not cured, and treated with routine surgery.@*CONCLUSION@#Based on the conventional western medication treatment, bloodletting at tip of ear can significantly reduce the pain of stye, and the effect of 100 μL bleeding is better than 50 μL.
Résumé
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of bloodletting cupping at Dazhui (GV14) plus scraping in treating hordeolum. Method Forty-four patients with hordeolum were randomized into a control group and a treatment group, 22 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by bloodletting cupping at Dazhui, while the treatment group was by bloodletting cupping at Dazhui plus scraping. The size of the infection on eyelid was observed before and after treatment, and the recovery rate was calculated. Result The total effective rate was 81.8% in the control group versus 95.5% in the treatment group, and the total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); the sizes of the eyelid infection were significantly reduced in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and the reduction in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Bloodletting cupping at Dazhui plus scraping can effectively improve the symptoms, reduce infection size, and enhance the clinical efficacy in treating hordeolum.
