Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of Liuwei Nengxiao capsules combined with acupoint application for functional constipation. Methods According to the order of treatment, 105 patients with functional constipation were divided into combined treatment group, Liuwei Nengxiao group and acupoint application group with random number table, 35 cases in each group. Combined treatment group was treated with both Liuwei Nengxiao capsules orally taking and Tongbian Fang acupoint application in Shenque. Liuwei Nengxiao group was treated with Liuwei Nengxiao capsules alone, and acupoint application group was treated with Tongbian Fang acupoint application in Shenque alone. The course of treatment lasted for 10 days. The symptom scores were assessed before and after treatment, to evaluate the efficacy. Results The symptom scores of the three groups all decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The total effective rates of combined treatment group, Liuwei Nengxiao group and acupoint application group were 100%(35/35), 94.3% (33/35) and 88.6% (31/35), respectively, and the clinical effect of combined treatment group was better than that of other two groups (P<0.01).
