Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between various factors and adverse reactions of bee- venom acupuncture therapy. Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among 188 randomly selected patients who received bee- venom acupuncture therapy for five weeks. The main contents of the survey included local symptoms, systemic symptoms and signs of adverse reactions,and the factors were analyzed by logistic regression. Results:Adverse reactions of bee- venom acupuncture therapy with high incidence were redness, pain, itching, and skin induration, with the incidence of more than 90%;pigmentation,skin petechia and blisters,and lymphadenopathy were also common,and the occurrence rates were between 26% and 76%;profuse sweating,fatigue,muscle soreness,aversion to cold and fever often occurred at the same time,with the occurrence rate of 15% to 20%. The incidence of abdominal pain and diarrhea was less than 15%;the occurrence rates of rubella and dizziness were less than 5%,and the duration was not long. According to logistic regression analysis,the occurrence of redness and swelling as well as itching was related to the cumulative amount of bee venom;the occurrence of skin induration was related to age,body mass,course of treatment,cumulative amount and frequency;the occurrence of pigmentation was related to the course of treatment,cumulative amount and frequency of bee acupuncture;the occurrence of skin petechia and blisters was related to the therapy,cumulative amount and location; the occurrence of lymphadenopathy was related to the cumulative amount and location of bee acupuncture;the occurrence of aversion to cold and fever was related to the therapy and cumulative amount(P<0.05). There was no correlation between local pain and the factors listed. Conclusion:The cumulative amount of bee venom is an independent risk factor for adverse reactions of bee-venom acupuncture therapy,and special attention should be paid to clinical operation.
