Is the therapy done minutes? Or has the exposure to an allergen been done minutes?
Context:
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - An acupuncture session may bring some itch relief to people with the allergic skin condition known as atopic eczema, a preliminary study suggests.
Eczema is a general term for conditions marked by inflammation and dry, red, itchy patches on the skin. The most common form, atopic eczema, is seen in people with a predisposition to allergies, like hay fever or asthma.
In the new study, German researchers looked at the short-term effects of acupuncture on skin inflammation and itching in 30 people with atopic eczema.
They found that the therapy, when done minutes after patients' skin was exposed to an allergen (either pollen or dust mites), appeared to soothe subjective feelings of itchiness.

Substitute another time reference word for minutes. that may help you to understand
hours after, seconds after, moments after
Actually i'm not sure i understand what you are asking.
The exposure has been done for a few minutes. Then the therapy is applied.
They found that the therapy, when (the therapy was completed) within minutes after patients' skin was exposed to an allergen (either pollen or dust mites), appeared to soothe subjective feelings of itchiness.
@oristarA,
Substitute 'performed' for 'done' in that sentence. It might make more sense that way.

the problem seems to be that you're breaking the sentence down incorrectly
the phrase is "done minutes after", not "done minutes"
