Objectives : Kamibojungikgi-tang is one of the most frequently used medical treatment for the allergic rhinitis. The main symptoms of the allergic rhinitis are nasal obstruction, watery rhinorrhea, and sneezing. In this study, we investigated the medical effect of the Kamibojungikgi -tang with intradermal acupuncture treatment on the allergic rhinitis in 10-11 years old children.
Methods : For 8 weeks, we administered Kamibojungikgi-tang to 84 patients and treated them with intradermal acupuncture. We checked their serum IgE and examined 10 symptoms of the allergic rhinitis (nasal obstruction, watery rhiorrhea, sneezing, nasal pruritus, hyposmia, quality of life, color of nasal mucosa, edema of nasal mucosa, postnasal drip, and complication).
Results : 1. Serum IgE decreased 2.62 point. which showed no significance. 2. Nasal obstruction, watery rhiorrhea, sneezing, nasal pruritus, hyposmia, quality of life, color of nasal mucosa, edema of nasal mucosa, and postnasal drip were improved. (p<0.005) 3. Complication showed no significance.
