Totally 187 patients were divided into two groups, Group Ⅰ (115 patients, within 36 h) and Group Ⅱ (72 patients, onset time of cold over than 36 h). Finally 120 patients were observed until entire resolution of cold symptoms.
Group Ⅰ showed significant decreases themediandurationsofcompletelyrecovery (3 days; 95% CI 3.0-4.0) as compared with Group Ⅱ (6 days; 95% CI 4.0-7.0, P < 0.001). The manual acupuncture beneficially worked for reduction rate of common cold symptoms by 50% after initial treatment, decreased cold symptoms, and reduced cold duration.

根据感冒发病时间在36小时内或超过36小时的差异，研究手针疗法对感冒病程及其症状的有益影响。为了证明手针疗法对感冒的疗效，进行了一项回顾性病历审查。
通过韩国东方医院、韩医诊所和综合医院的多中心收集仅接受手针治疗且符合杰克逊量表标准并在每次治疗结束时表示满意的感冒患者的病历数据。总共187例患者分为两组，Ⅰ组（115例患者，发病时间在36小时内）和Ⅱ组（72例患者，感冒发病时间超过36小时）。最后观察了120例患者，直至感冒症状完全消退。
与Ⅱ组（6天；95%可信区间4.0 - 7.0，P < 0.001）相比，Ⅰ组完全康复的中位持续时间显著缩短（3天；95%可信区间3.0 - 4.0）。手针疗法在初始治疗后对感冒症状的减轻率达50%，能减轻感冒症状并缩短感冒病程。
手针疗法对感冒及其症状有有益影响。此外，在感冒发病早期其效果更明显。
