采用双期交叉单盲临床试验，评价针刺治疗季节性变应性鼻炎（SAR）的临床疗效和安全性。将30名受试者随机分为两组，每组17名和13名，分别接受真实的或假针灸（每周3次）治疗，连续4周，然后交叉治疗4周，无洗脱期。真实的针灸治疗是以中医辨证论治为指导。受试者在治疗前、治疗中和治疗后通过各种标准进行评估。结果测量包括使用五点量表（FPS）的主观症状评分、缓解药物评分（RMS）和不良反应记录。26例受试者完成了研究。两种类型的针灸治疗之间的FPS（鼻和非鼻症状）有显着改善。真实的针刺治疗组与假针刺治疗组RMS无显著性差异。两组均未观察到副作用。结果表明，针灸是一种有效和安全的替代治疗SAR的管理。
The clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR) was evaluated by employing a two-phase crossover single-blind clinical trial. Thirty subjects were randomly assigned to two groups with 17 and 13 subjects respectively and treated with real or sham acupuncture (three times per week) for four consecutive weeks and then a crossover for treatments for a further four weeks without a washout period. The administration of real acupuncture treatment was guided by a syndrome differentiation according to Chinese Medicine Theory. Subjects were assessed by various criteria before, during and after the treatments. Outcome measures included subjective symptom scores using a five-point scale (FPS), relief medication scores (RMS) and adverse effect records. Twenty-six (26) subjects completed the study. There was a significant improvement in FPS (nasal and non-nasal symptoms) between the two types of acupuncture treatments. No significant differences were shown in RMS between the real acupuncture treatment group and the sham acupuncture treatment group. No side effects were observed for both groups. The results indicate that acupuncture is an effective and safe alternative treatment for the management of SAR.
