Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of acupoint application in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods Two researchers searched for literatures and evaluated quality， using RevMan5.3 software for Meta-analysis included in RCT studies. Results A total of 9 RCT studies were included in the study, totaling observation group 440 cases and the matched group 431 cases.In the symptom score,due to the small number of included literatures and the lack of uniformity of standards, only qualitative analysis was conducted. According to the statistical analysis, the results showed that the total effective acupoint application group was superior to conventional western medicine group（RR=1.15， 95%CI[1.03， 1.27]， P=0.01）， acupoint application group combined with western medicine group was superior to conventional western medicine group（RR=1.32，95%CI[1.17， 1.48]， P<0.00001）, acupoint application group combined with acupuncture group was superior to single acupuncture group（RR=1.3， 95%CI[1.17，1.44]， P<0.00001). Conclusion Acupoint application therapy can significantly improve patients' mental state and quality of life and prognosis.However,the evaluation of this system is limited by the quality and quantity of the included literature and the non-standard experimental design,and more high-quality,the conclusions still need be verified by a strict multi-center study with high-quality and large sample design.
