Abstract:【Objective】To explore the clinical efficacy of scalp-ear moxibustion combined with auricular point sticking in the treatment of patients with Meniere's disease of qixu xueyu type. 【Methods】A total of 60 patients with Meniere's disease of qixu xueyu type admitted to our hospital from March 2023 to October 2024 were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group according to the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with betahistine hydrochloride, while the observation group was given scalp-ear moxibustion combined with auricular point sticking on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The TCM syndrome scores, as well as scores of vertigo, tinnitus and quality of life, were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.【Results】After treatment, the scores of primary and secondary TCM syndromes, Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, while the Meniere's Disease Outcome Questionnaire (MDOQ) score was higher than that in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】Scalp-ear moxibustion combined with auricular point sticking in the treatment of patients with Meniere's disease of qixu xueyu type can significantly improve patients' vertigo and tinnitus symptoms, enhance their quality of life, and exert a good effect on improving TCM symptoms. It suggests that this treatment method can be used as an effective adjuvant therapy for patients with Meniere's disease.
