Abstract: This study aims to explore the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating patients with xerostomia of liver-kidney yin deficiency type who responded poorly to conventional treatments.

The treatment protocol used Qianzheng Point as the main acupoint, supplemented by meridian-based distant acupuncture at Hegu Point, Taichong Point, Taixi Point and Zhaohai Point, combined with standardized acupuncture manipulation. The results showed that after a period of treatment, patients’ xerostomia symptoms were significantly relieved, the symptoms of liver-kidney yin deficiency were improved, and their quality of life was notably enhanced.
