Acupuncture Treatment of Intractable Atopic Dermatitis / 全日本鍼灸学会雑誌

We did Oriental medical treatment to intractable atopic dermatitis patients. The number of cases is twenty. We divided them into two groups, namely the group of the combined treatment of acupuncture and “Toeki” (internal remedy), the “Toeki” treatment group, and compared the effective rates of the two. The combined treatment of acupuncture and “Toeki” is effective in seven cases out of eirht, and the effective rate is 88%, while the “Toeki” treatment is effective in eight out of twelve, and the effective rate is 67%. We think that both of the combined treatment of acupuncture and “Toeki” and “Toeki” treatment are both effective, but that the former is more effective than the latter.
