Study Summary
We hypothesize that ear acupressure will be effective in treating seasonal allergic rhinitis by changing the immune parameters and the psychological impact factors are associated with ear acupressure treatment outcome.
Primary Outcome
RQLQ is an instrument that has 28 items in 7 domains (sleep, non-rhinoconjuctivitis symptoms, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms activity limitations and emotional function). Participants are asked to recall impairments experienced during the previous week and to respond to each item on a 7-point scale (0=no impairment; 6=maximum impairment). In this protocol, we used the nasal symptoms domain only; 4 questions, total scale ranges from 0 minimum to 24 maximum. Longitudinal change
Interventions
