Abstract:Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of SHAO's pediatric massage combined with Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray in treating allergic rhinitis in preschool children with lung-kidney yang deficiency type.Methods:A total of 72 preschool children diagnosed as allergic rhinitis of lung-kidney yang deficiency type were recruited and screened as the research subjects,and were divided into the trial group and the control group using the random number table method,with 36 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray,and the trial group was given SHAO's pediatric massage, which aims to promote harmony by restoring free flow of qi and blood, based on the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for two weeks. The clinical efficacy, Total Nasal Symptom Scores(TNSS), Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome scores, modified Lund-Kennedy (MLK) endoscopic scores, Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(RQLQ)scores,and Rhinitis Control Assessment Test(RCAT)scores were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate was 91.67%(33/36)in the trial group and 72.22%(26/36)in the control group,the difference being significant(P<0.05).The TNSS,VAS, TCM syndrome scores, MLK endoscopic scores and RQLQ scores of patients in the two groups decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05), and the RCAT scores increased when compared with those before treatment,differences being significant(P<0.05).The TNSS,VAS,TCM syndrome scores,MLK endoscopic score and RQLQ score in the trial group were lower than those in the control group,and the RCAT score was higher than that in the controlgroup,differencesbeingsignificant(P<0.05).Conclusion:SHAO'spediatricmassagecombinedwithMometasone Furoate Nasal Spray has a significant effect on preschool children with allergic rhinitis of lung-kidney yang deficiency type,which can effectively alleviate nasal symptoms,improve quality of life,and show higher safety.
