| Objective:To explore the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment principles of the Li Qi Tong Jiang method in treating Gan Wei Bu He type of functional dyspepsia ( FD ).Methods: 60 cases of FD were divided into two groups randomly.The treatment group ( 30 cases ) was treated with formulated Li Qi Tong Jiang oral granula subtilae and the control group ( 30 cases ) treated with Cai Hu Su Gan oral granula subtilae. The oral medication was applied twice daily, once every morning,one in the afternoon and evening. The duration of treatment for both groups was 4 weeks. The clinical effects were observed during and after the course.Results: The clinical effect: In the treatment group, 6cases recovered, the effectual rate is 20.0%; 14cases significantly improved, 7cases improved, 3 ineffectual cases. The total effective rate in the treatment group is 89.9%. In the control group, 3cases recovered, the effectual rate is 10.0%; 4 cases significantly improved, 18 cases improved, 5 ineffectual cases. The total effective rate in the control group is 83.3%. There was statistically significant difference in the total effective rate between the treatment group and control guoup (P<0.05). The effective rate from the treatment group is clearly superior. The scores from the treatment group clearly decreased at the end of two weeks and four weeks respectively (22.10±5.467 pretreatment vs 15.47±5.070,7.53±6.286). Judging by the rate of symptomatic improvement in the treatment group, the formulated Li Qi Tong Jiang oral granula subtilae could... |
