2006
Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects of plum-blossom needle tapping combined with the modified Yangxue Dingfeng Tang (a decoction for nourishing the blood and expelling wind) for the localized neurodermatitis. Methods: 141 cases of the localized neurodermatitis were randomly divided into 3 groups. Forty-seven patients in the treatment group received local tapping and oral medication of the modified Yangxue Dingfeng Tang which consisted of Sheng Di Huang ( Radix Rehmanniae), Dang Gui , Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Chi Shao , Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Tian Dong Radix Asparagi, Mai Dong , Jiang Can , mu Dan Pi, Chuan Xiong , He Shou Wu , and Quan Xie. Forty-seven patients in the control group I were simply given the modified Yangxue Dingfeng Tang; and 47 patients in the control group II were treated with oral benadryl and Vitamin C plus local external application of 10% urea ointment. The treatment course for all the 3 groups lasted 30 days. Results: The short-term and long-term effects for the treatment group were much better than those of the 2 control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: The plum-blossom needle tapping plus the modified Yangxue Dingfeng Tang exhibits a better and stable effect for the localized neurodermatitis.
