Efficacy and safety of electric heating moxibustion for perennial allergic rhinitis: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE-mediated disease that adversely affects quality of life. Many studies report that moxibustion is an effective treatment for perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR). However, it is difficult to perform moxibustion on the face because of possible burning of the skin and the noxious effects of smoke. Electric heating moxibustion does not have these limitations. The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the possibility of treating PAR with electric heating moxibustion and to assess the feasibility of conducting a clinical test on a larger scale.

Methods

This is a randomized, open-label, assessor-blind, parallel-design pilot clinical study. We will recruit 40 eligible participants and randomly allocate them into an electric heating moxi
