简介：观察针灸的临床的效果的目的在治疗长期的湿疹与acupoint注射治疗结合了。七十个病人随机被划分成二个组的方法。在治疗组的36个盒子在针灸方面被对待，acupoint注射治疗并且与洋梅花针拍，当在控制组的34个盒子与Halometasone的Loratadine正热门申请的口头的管理被对待时，啪啪撞击。在三星期的治疗，药品和显著的有效的率和全部的有效的率以后的结果是分别地，80.6%和97.2%在治疗组织，对47.1%和79.4%在控制组织。在在二个组之间的药品和显著的有效的率和全部的有效的率的差别是统计上重要的(所有P<0.05)。没有明显的不利反应在治疗期间出现在二个组。结论针灸正acupoint注射治疗为有安全地的高度的长期的湿疹是有效的。
