Objective : We performed a clinical study to investigate pattern characteristics in persistent allergic rhinitisdepending on Korean Medicine pattern questionnaire items as a pattern identification diagnostic tool.
Method : 32 patients with persistent allergic rhinitis were asked to interview with doctor of Korean Medicineand perform the 4 pattern questionnaires(Cold?Heat Pattern, Phlegm Pattern, Yin Deficiency pattern, bloodstasispattern). Then, we analyzed the response rate of each pattern questionnaires.
Results : After diagnosis of Korean Medicine Doctor's pattern identification, 17 individual items have higherresponse rate, 7 of 17 items have a common tendency in allergic rhinitis. The other 8 of 10 items belongto Lung qi deficiency cold and Lung-spleen qi deficiency group, these have higher tendency of deficiency. In bloodstasis pattern questionnaires, we don't decide the tendency of patients with allergic rhinitis.
Conclusion : The result may provide that we don't use Korean Medicine pattern questionnaires as a majortool in the pattern identification of allergic rhinitis. Continuous studies are needed to develop the standardizedpattern identification diagnostic tool.
