Objective:To observe the clinical effect of combined acupuncture with bloodletting on Chize(LU 5)and Weizhong(BL 9)for chronic eczema.Methods:A total of 40 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group,20 in each.Cases in the observation group were treated with acupuncture plus bloodletting on Chize(LU 5)and Weizhong(BL 9),whereas cases in the control group were treated with acupuncture alone.The acupuncture was conducted once a day,bloodletting twice a week.The therapeutic efficacy was statistically analyzed after one month of consecutive treatment.Results:The recovery and total effective rates in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Combined acupuncture and bloodletting on Chize(LU 5)and Weizhong(BL 40)could obtain a better effect than acupuncture alone.
