Sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation with one acupuncture needle for moderate-severe persistent allergic rhinitis: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis is a symptomatic allergic disease of the nose that affects 10 to 20% of the global population. Chinese otolaryngologists use one acupuncture needle to stimulate the sphenopalatine ganglion because of its potential advantages for treating moderate-severe persistent allergic rhinitis compared with traditional Chinese acupuncture (verum acupuncture); however, little ev...
متن کاملTreatment of persistent allergic rhinitis via acupuncture at the sphenopalatine acupoint: a randomized controlled trial

Acupuncture is used to treat it in traditional Chinese medicine, and generally, the L120, ST2 and ST36 acupoints are selected in clinical practice. We report a new method of acupuncture at the sphenopalatine acupoint (SPA) for treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR). The effect of this treatment was investigated using two dif...

The transnasal application of topical anesthetic is the simplest and most common technique among the three. However, the diffusion of topical anesthetic to the ganglion is unpredictable and the blockade is not durable. OBJECTIVE ...
متن کاملAnatomic Landmarks and Morphometric Measurements for Accurate Localization of the Sphenopalatine Ganglion via the Transnasal and Infrazygomatic Approaches: A Cadaveric Study
Objective: Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is used for a variety of craniofacial pain syndromes either through the transnasal route or via the infrazygomatic approach. Intraoperative imaging can identify the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) but not the exact position of the SPG. Accurate localization of the SPG requires knowledge of the relevant anatomical landmarks. Materials and methods: Thirt...
