Abstract

In recent years, laryngopharyngeal reflux disease has attracted the attention of acupuncture clinicians. This article summarizes the acupuncture treatments (simple acupuncture, acupuncture combined with western medicine, acupoint application combined with Chinese medicine) and the corresponding treatment effects in the past 5 years. The current research has proved the effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion for laryngopharyngeal reflux disease, and provides methods and ideas for clinical treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease.
