Abstract:【Objective】 To explore the application effect of nasal three-needle acupuncture combined with lung-dispersing and spleen-strengthening Tuina in children with allergic rhinitis.【Methods】 A total of 92 children with allergic rhinitis admitted to our hospital from August 2023 to August 2024 were selected and grouped by the ball-touching method. Those with odd numbers were included in the control group(n=46), and those with even numbers were in the observation group(n=46). The control group received conventional Western medicine treatment, while the observation group was treated with nasal three-needle acupuncture combined with lung-dispersing and spleen-strengthening Tuina. The clinical efficacy, TCM syndrome scores, nasal physiological functions, and levels of inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8)] were compared between the two groups.【Results】 After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). The TCM syndrome scores of nasal itching, nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). The total nasal resistance of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05), and the nasal ventilation area was larger than that of the control group(P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, CRP, IL-6, and IL-8 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).【Conclusion】 Nasal three-needle acupuncture combined with lung-dispersing and spleen-strengthening Tuina in the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children can significantly improve the total clinical effective rate, relieve clinical symptoms, reduce total nasal resistance and inflammatory factor levels, and enhance nasal mucosa function.
