In 101 cases of bronchial asthma patients, we have applied an acupuncture treatment by using four groups of points: 1 of general effect; 2 lungs points, both canal and segmental; 3 digestive system corresponding points; 4 some combinations of above - mentioned groups.
Effectiveness of the one acupuncture procedure was estimated consecutively by SGaw dynamics scale after 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours. We defined the bronchial reactivity by bronchoprovocational inhalational testings with acetylcholine. Background the general, health improving as a result of acupuncture treatment, at the same time we have revealed increasing of bronchia permeability (according to SGaw), as well as decreasing, of bronchial hyperactivity while acetylcholine testings (p<0.03) among 86% of patients. We observed optimum effectiveness after application of the combination of points while each procedure. As well we have defined that effectiveness depends on the initial blood acetylcholine level and acetylcholine concentration in breathing out moisture condensate. We Have concluded that acupuncture influence mechanism depends on the initial conditions of the main functions systems, which are taking part in bronchial reactivity regulation.
