目的

观察下关穴深刺治疗持续性变应性鼻炎的临床疗效。

方法

将74 例持续性变应性鼻炎患者随机分为治疗组和对照组各37 例。治疗组给予下关穴深刺加其他穴位常规针刺治疗，对照组给予常规针刺治疗。每3 日治疗1 次，连续治疗12 次。观察2 组治疗前后鼻部症状总分（TNSS）和总有效率进行疗效评价。

结果

（1）治疗组和对照组治疗前后TNSS比较，差异均有统计学意义（t=24.529、15.326，P 均﹤0.05）。2 组治疗后TNSS 比较，差异具有统计学意义（t =12.197，P﹤0.05）。（2）治疗后，治疗组总有效率94.6% ，对照组总有效率78.4% ，2 组疗效比较，差异具有统计学意义（χ²=403.500，P﹤0.05）。

结论

下关穴深刺治疗持续性变应性鼻炎疗效显著，值得临床推广。

Objective

In order to observe the therapeutic effect of acupuncture of deep insertion method at the point ST7（Xiaguan） on treating allergic rhinitis（AR）.

Results

（1） There were statistically significant differences in TNSS between the treatment group and the control group before and after treatment （t=24.529， 15.326， all P ﹤0.05）.The difference in TNSS between the two groups after treatment was statistically significant （t = 12.197，P﹤0.05）.（2） After treatment， the total effective rate was 94.6% in the treatment group and 78.4% in the control group， and the difference in efficacy between the two groups was statistically significant（χ²=403.500，P﹤0.05）.

Conclusion

Both methods had obvious curative effects while the deep insertion method at Xiaguan showed supreme performance on treating AR and is worthy of clinical promotion.
