For patients in the acute phase of chronic airway diseases, on the basis of guideline-directed treatment, the experimental group was given acupuncture treatment, while the control group was given sham acupuncture treatment. The treatment lasted for one week, followed by a 13-week follow-up. For asthma and COPD, PEF and CAT were respectively used as the primary outcome measures to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture. Based on the improvement of the primary outcome measures, the advantageous population was identified. The mechanism by which acupuncture reduces airway mucus hypersecretion was preliminarily explained.
