ENT

1 Data
  There are totally 1046 patients with 544 male and 502 female; 302 patients are from 6 to 20 years old, 338 from 21 to 30; 212 from 31 to 40; 113 from 41 to 50; 64 from 51 to 60; 17 more than 61.


2 Treatment method
  Treatment apparatus is 810 Meridian Magnetic-Electronic Treatment Apparatus with two outputs (for two patients at the same time), with output voltage from high (0 to 600V) to low (0 to 100V), with adjustable output controller and with 50Hz pulse frequency.
  At first, put two metal plates (similar size with one cent coin) on Yingxiang (LI20) of both sides, place 7 layers of wet cotton pads between skin and plate (pad is little larger than plate). Then turn machine on and increase intensity until patient feels electronic sensation including trembling, pressing (like massage), ant moving etc. Intensity depends on tolerance of patient.
  Treatment lasts 20 to 30 minutes, once a day. Two times a day (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) treatment is for patient who lives outside of the city, 10 to 15 times are one course.


3 Effect standard
  Cured – conscious symptoms are disappeared, body manifestions are disappeared ( after test, nasal mucous membrane congestion and edema are disappeared, and no secretion ), not repeatedly happened within half year.
  Obviously effective – conscious symptoms are almost disappeared, or chief complaints are totally disappeared and secondary complaints are obviously improved (after test, nasal mucous membrane congestion and edema are relieved or disappeared).
  Improved – symptoms are relieved, less relapse compare with before.
  No effect – no improvement after 10 times of treatment


4 Treatment result
  Cured – 72 cases, 7%, 30 times treatment at most and 4 at least with average of 9.7.
  Obviously effective – 412 cases, 40%, 20 times treatment at most and 6 at least with average of 12.5.
  Improved – 465 cases, 44%, 27 times treatment at most and 6 at least with average of 11.7.
  No effect – 97 cases, 9%.


5 Experience
  A: we apply two plates on Shang Yingxiang (LI20) (Upper LI20), connect plates with pulse-electronic apparatus, this method get functions not only to stimulate points but also to regulate meridians and open nose orifice.
  B: patient feels trembling, pressing (like massage), ant moving etc when we connect points with pulse-electronic apparatus. Regular, continuous and even stimulation (like massage) given by apparatus can promote vascular dilation, regulate blood circulation, improve tissue permeability and benefit metabolism. So nasal secretion, edema and inflammation can be stopped.
  C: Pulse-electronic stimulation itself has functions to stop edema and inflammation, calm down mind and improve blood circulation.
  D: This therapy is characterized by easy operated and quick result. In general, effective result can show after 3 to 5 times.


Key Words: chronic rhinitis, pulse-electronic apparatus
