Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: To explore the application effect of acupoint massage combined with ear point pressing beans in the remission stage of asthma. Methods: 120 children with asthma in remission who were treated in pediatric outpatient department from January 2016 to October 2022 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 60 cases in each group.The patients in both groups were treated with salmeterol and fluticasone inhalation powder once a day, twice a day. The patients in the control group were treated with acupoint massage on this basis. Acupoint massage once a day from Monday to Friday, lasting for 30 minutes each time.The patients in the experimental group were treated with ear point pressing beans on the basis of the control group. The ear point pressing beans is performed once a day from Monday to Friday. Changes in pulmonary function and asthma control were observed before and after treatment in the two groups were observed, and forced expiratory volume 1 second (FEV1),forced expiratory vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, asthma control test scale (ACT) score were compared.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Salmeterol Xinafoate and Fluticasone Propionate Powder for Inhalation was used 1 puff each time, 2 times/d.

Patients in the experiment group were treated with auricular point pressing on basis if the treatment of the control group. Selecting 10 acupoints including Tanzhong, Tiantu, Dingchuan(both sides), Feishu(both sides), Yuji(both sides), and Lieque(both sides), and massage each acupoint for about 3 minutes.
