Objective:
To observe therapeutic effect of point embedding thread on chloasma.
Methods:
Thirty cases of the treatment group were treated with embedding thread at body points for 6 times, points of the face for once, pricking blood therapy on ear points once each week; the 30 cases of the control group with body acupuncture and ear acupuncture, twice each week. After treatment of 4 months, their therapeutic effects on chloasma and companied symptoms were evaluated.
Results:
The effective rate on chloasma was 100.0% in the treatment group and 70.0% in the control group with a very significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). The effective rates on the companied symptoms were 100.0% in the two groups, but the cured and markedly effective rate in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.01).
Conclusion:
The therapeutic effect of point embedding thread combined with ear point pricking blood therapy on chloasma and its companied symptoms is better than that of the body acupuncture combined with ear acupuncture.
