However, few clinical studies of acupuncture have been conducted on these comorbid conditions. A 48\u2010year\u2010old male suffering from persistent allergic rhinitis with comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma since the age of 18 years was studied. He complained of nasal obstruction, sneezing, cough, rhinorrhea and moderate dyspnea. He occasionally visited local ear\u2010nose\u2010throat clinics for his nasal symptoms, but gained only periodic symptom relief. The patient was treated with acupuncture, infrared radiation to the face and electro\u2010acupuncture. Needles were inserted at bilateral LI20, GV23, LI4 and EX\u20101 sites with De\u2010qi. Electro\u2010acupuncture was performed simultaneously at both LI20 sites and additional traditional Korean acupuncture treatments were performed. Each session lasted for 10\u2009min and the sessions were carried out twice a week for 5 weeks. The patient\u2019s Mini\u2010Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality\u2010of\u2010Life Questionnaire score decreased from 38, at the beginning of treatment, to 23, 3 weeks after the last treatment. The Total Nasal Symptom Score was reduced from six (baseline) to five, 3 weeks after the last treatment. There was significant clinical improvement in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s\u2014from 3.01 to 3.50 l\u2014with discontinuation of the inhaled corticosteroid, and no asthma\u2010related complaints were reported. Further clinical studies investigating the effectiveness of acupuncture for the patients suffering from allergic rhinitis and\/or rhinosinusitis with comorbid asthma are needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ecam\/nep240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,5]],"date-time":"2010-02-05T05:11:10Z","timestamp":1265346670000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Acupuncture
