This study evaluates acupuncture for persistent allergic rhinitis. Results will clarify if acupuncture offers a safe, effective alternative to conventional treatments for allergy symptom relief.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Clinical Trials
  • Allergy Research

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis is a prevalent global health issue.
  • Conventional treatments for allergic rhinitis can cause side effects.
  • Acupuncture is a widely used alternative therapy with insufficient evidence for allergic rhinitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of acupuncture for persistent allergic rhinitis.
  • To compare active acupuncture, sham acupuncture, and waitlist control groups.
  • To provide evidence for acupuncture's role in managing allergic rhinitis.

Main Methods:

  • Multi-center randomized controlled trial in Korea and China.
  • Three parallel arms: active acupuncture, sham acupuncture, and waitlist control.
