Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of modified Sanxiang Decoction on gastrointestinal transmission function of patients with functional bloating (FB). Methods Sixty cases of FB patients were randomly divided into treatment group (40 cases) and control group (20 cases). Treatment group was given modified Sanxiang Decoction, while control group was given placebo granules, one bag each time. Twice a day, taking it after mixing it with water. Gastrointestinal symptoms, 48 h GITT, and adverse reactions were recorded. Results There was statistical significance in TCM symptom scores between before and after treatment in the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the total score of abdominal distension, belching, anorexia and TCM symptoms of the treatment group were lower than the control group, with statistical significance (P=0.000, 0.000, 0.010, 0.003). The total effective rate was 82%(33/40) in the treatment group, 30%(6/20) in thecontrol group;the treatment group was better than the control group (P<0.05). A total of 30 patients completed gastrointestinal transit test, of which delayed 48 h GITT pass rate accounted for 54% (16/30). Compared with the control group, the 48 h GITT of the treatment group was more obviously improved than that of the control group with statistical significance (P=0.002). There were no significant adverse reactions in both groups. Conclusion Most of FB patients have the problem of abnormal intestinal motility. Modified Sanxiang Decoction can improve the symptoms of patients with FB, promote gastrointestinal motility, and improve intestinal transmission function.
