Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lianhua Qingke tablets in the treatment of acute bronchitis in children with the syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing lung. MethodA randomized, open, parallel controlled, and multi-center clinical study was conduted. Children with acute bronchitis (syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing lung) were randomly assigned to an observation group and a control group. The control group received routine basic treatment, and the observation group was treated with Lianhua Qingke Tablets on the basis of routine basic treatment. After 7 days of treatment, the clinical efficacy, TCM efficacy, time to symptom disappearance, time to cough disappearance, and clinical safety were compared between the two groups. ResultA total of 248 children were included (124 in the observation group and 124 in the control group). After 7 days of treatment, the total response rate in terms of clinical efficacy in the observation group was 96.8% (120/124), which was higher than that (90.3%, 112/124) in the control group (Z=-5.034, P<0.01). The total response rate in terms of TCM syndrome in the observation group was 97.6% (121/124), which was higher than that (93.5%, 116/124) in the control group (χ2=-5.326, P<0.01). The scores of physical signs and TCM symptoms in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at the time of taking medicine for 3 days and 7 days (P<0.01). The time to symptom disappearance and the time to cough disappearance in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.01). Drug-related adverse reactions occurred in neither group. ConclusionLianhua Qingke tablets demonstrate a definite effect on acute bronchitis in children with the syndrome of phlegm-heat blocking lung. The tablets can significantly shorten the course of disease and relieve cough and TCM symptoms, with high safety, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
