The patients in the treatment group were treated with scalp acupuncture and traditional acupuncture for 2 courses (once a day and 10 days for one course). The patients in the control group received oral administration of loratadine tablet for 25 days. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.ResultsThe marked and total effective rates of the treatment group were 62.2% and 86.7% respectively, while those of the control group were 37.8% and 64.5%.
