Objective To observe the effect of acupoint application with Wu’s Blistering Plaster combined with seretide inhalation in preventing and treating children with asthma in remission stage and to study its influence on immune function.Methods Eighty cases of children with asthma in remission stage were randomized into two groups
40 in treatment group and 40 in control group.Both groups were treated with seretide inhalation 50μg/100μg
one or two times a day for 6 months
based on which
the treatment group was treated with Wu’s Blistering Plaster for acupoint application in dog-days.The effect and changes in symptom scores of both groups were observed
and serum IgE
IL-4
and IFN-γ were determined before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and control group was 95.0% and 80.0% respectively
with significant difference(P<0.05).The treatment group was superior to the control group in increase of IFN-γ and decrease of total IgE and IL-4(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion Acupoint application with Wu’s Blistering Plaster combined with seretide inhalation is effective in improving the immune function of asthma children and its good at preventing and treating asthma.
