Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Yougui Pills and its separate formula for the treatment of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome. Methods A total of 60 patients of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. Treatment group was treated with Yougui Pills, and the control group was given the separate formula from Yougui Pills which had the actions of warming kidney yang. Four weeks constituted one treatment course and the treatment covered 2 courses. The changes of major clinical symptom scores, total effectives rate and associated indexes such as peripheral white blood cells, serum antibodies, and complements were compared between the two groups following the treatment for 8 weeks. Results The total effective rate, and improvement of major clinical symptoms and the peripheral white blood cells in the treatment group were superior to those in the control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . However, there were no significant differences of the levels of serum antibodies and complements between the two groups (P>0.05) .Conclusion Yougui Pills show better effect than its kidney-yang-warming separate formula for the treatment of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome, indicating that the method of generating yang by activating yin is superior to the method of simply nourishing kidney yang.
