Seventeen patients with stable bronchial asthma were randomly assigned to receive either correct acupuncture or placebo acupuncture. The study lasted 11 weeks and consisted of a pre-therapy, therapy, and post-therapy period. The patients received 10 treatments during a 5-week period. The effect of therapy on pulmonary function was assessed daily by the patients at home. Morning and evening peak expiratory flow rate, number of puffs beta 2-agonist aerosol needed, as well as subjective symptoms of asthma were recorded in a diary. The correctly treated group improved significantly throughout the study. Also, compared with the placebo group, a significant improvement was found in all assessed parameters 2 weeks after beginning therapy. Hereafter, no differences could be shown.
17名稳定期支气管哮喘患者被随机分配接受正确针刺治疗或安慰剂针刺治疗。该研究持续11周，包括治疗前、治疗期和治疗后期。患者在5周内接受10次治疗。在家中，患者每天评估治疗对肺功能的影响。早晚呼气峰值流速、所需β2受体激动剂气雾剂的喷雾次数以及哮喘的主观症状均记录在日记中。在整个研究过程中，正确治疗组有显著改善。此外，与安慰剂组相比，治疗开始2周后所有评估参数均有显著改善。此后，未显示出差异。
