Objective : The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of Ryodoraku in the patients with acute and chronic urticaria, and to compare the acute and chronic urticaria. Methods : Subjects were 124 patients with urticaria, acute(<8 weeks) patients were thirty eight and chronic(${\geq}$ 8 weeks) patients were sixty four. We calculated the average Ryodoraku score(RS, ${\mu}A$) and each variation from physiologic range of 12 Ryodoraku points, and compared the acute and chronic urticaria Ryodoraku points pattern. Results : 1. The mean value of F3 and F5 were under 40${\mu}A$ in acute urticaria group. 2. The mean value of H1, H2, H4, H5, H6, F1 and F4 were over 60${\mu}A$ in chronic urticaria group. 3. There were significant difference between acute and chronic urticaria group at H2, H3, H4, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and total Ave. Conclusion : These findings suggest that there are significant differences of Ryodoraku pattern between acute and chronic urticaria group, and Ryodoraku reflect the characteristic of urticaria.
