Clinical efficacy of fire needle combined with liquorice oil packet therapy on chronic eczema
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of fire needle combined with liquorice oil packet therapy on chro-nic eczema.Methods Sixty patients with chronic eczema were randomly assigned into the treatment group(n =30)and the control group(n =30).All patients were managed by compound flumetasone ointment,and those in the treatment group were ad-ditionally treated with fire needle combined with liquorice oil packet therapy.The treatment continued for 3 courses(1 course for 1 week),aiming to compare the Eczema Area and Severity Index(EASI)score,pruritus score.The curative effect was as-sessed.Results The overall effective rate in the treatment group was better than that in the control group(93.33%[28/30]vs 66.67%[20/30],[P<0.05],respectively).After treatment,EASI score in groups was significantly decreased(P<0.05),which decreased notably in the treatment group compared with the control group(P<0.05).The pruritus score in groups was significantly decreased(P<0.05),which was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion For patients with chronic eczema,fire needle combined with liquorice oil packet therapy has definite clinical effica-cy,which can effectively promote the repair of skin lesions,reduce pruritus symptoms,improve clinical efficacy,and with safe and reliable.
