Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy,immune inflammatory factors and hemorheology of patients with plaque psoriasis by using fire acupuncture combined with the theory of midnight-noon ebb-flow.Methods:Sixty-two patients with plaque psoriasis who met the diagnosis and inclusion criteria were randomly divided into control group and fire acupuncture with midnight-noon ebb-flow,with 31 cases in each group.The control group was treated with carpotriol ointment for external use,while the fire acupuncture group was treated with fire acupuncture with midnight-noon ebb-flow on the basis of the former and selected points by the opening method through midnight-noon ebb-flow theory.The patients in both groups were treated for 8 weeks and followed up for 4 weeks.The levels of PASI,DLQI,PSQI,HAMA,hs-CRP,TNF-αand hemorheology indexes in 2 groups before and after treatment were observed,including the comparison of whole blood viscosity,plasma viscosity and hematocrit.Results:PASI,DLQI,PSQI,HAMA,hs-CRP,TNF-α,blood viscosity and hematocrit levels were significantly improved after treatment(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the group in fire acupuncture with midnight-noon ebb-flow was significantly better than control group after treatment(P<0.01).Conclusion:fire acupuncture with midnight-noon ebb-flow can improve the sleep quality of patients with psoriasis,relieve anxiety and effectively improve the blood cell rheology and microcirculation,alleviate clinical symptoms and improve the quality of life.
