Abstract

|
|
Objective:The purpose of this study is to report the efficacy of using Korean medical treatment for suspected allergic rhinitis.
Methods:We used Korean medical treatments (herbal medicines and acupuncture) to treat a hospitalized patient with suspected allergic rhinitis. To evaluate the treatment, we used Total Nasal Symptom Scores to measure sneezing, rhinorrhea, itching, and obstruction. The degree of rhinitis was also evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale, and the patient’s generic health status was measured using the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions Scale.
Results:Visual Analogue Scale and European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions Scale scores improved after treatment. The change in Total Nasal Symptom Scores showed that the patient’s suspected allergic rhinitis symptoms were relieved.
Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that Korean medicine therapies may be effective for treating suspected allergic rhinitis.
