ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To investigate the treatment of asthma at asthma-relieving earpoint and its influence on FEV1 and PEF.Method:
One hundred and seventy-eight patients exactly diagnosed with bronchial asthma were selected and averagely divided, according to a simple random number table, into an asthma-relieving earpoint treatment group (observation group)and a body acupuncture treatment group (control group).Results:
The effective rate was 90.0% in the observation group and 91.0% in the control group. A comparison of the curative effects between the two groups showed P> 0.05. In the observation group there were significant differences in FEV1 and PEF between pretreatment and posttreatment (P< 0.05 and P< 0. 01, respectively).Conclusion:
Asthma-relieving earpoint is markedly effective in treating asthma and has a certain influence on lung function.
