Brief Summary: This study aims to compare the efficacy of adding auricular acupuncture to Xiao-Feng-San decoction versus Xiao-Feng-San decoction in treating atopic dermatitis. The trial is a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled study.
Detailed Description: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects a significant number of individuals worldwide. In Traditional Medicine (TM), Xiao-Feng-San (XFS), a TM formula, has been widely used in the treatment of mild to moderate AD exhibiting wind-dampness-heat manifestations. This study aims to investigate whether the addition of auricular acupuncture (AA), a form of acupuncture targeting points on the ear, enhances the efficacy of XFS in treating AD. The trial is a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled study involving participants diagnosed with mild to moderate AD exhibiting wind-dampness-heat manifestations according to TM and indicated for the use of XFS decoction. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either AA or sham AA (placebo) in addition to XFS. Outcome measures will include the severity of AD symptoms, quality of life assessments, the need for antipruritic medication, total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, and adverse effects. Through rigorous methodology and blinding procedures, this study seeks to provide evidence on the comparative efficacy of adjunct AA in enhancing the therapeutic effects of XFS for AD. The findings aim to contribute valuable insights into optimizing treatment strategies for AD using integrative approaches.
