Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Baizhu Shengjiang Decoction combined with Prucalopride Succinate Tablets for chronic functional constipation. Methods Sixty patients with chronic functional constipation were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Baizhu Shengjiang Decoction combined with Prucalopride Succinate Tablets orally, and the control group was treated with oral administration of Prucalopride Succinate Tablets alone. The therapeutic effects on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms and constipation, and the follow-up therapeutic effect of the two groups were evaluated after treatment. During the three months after the completion of treatment course, the recurrence of constipation was monitored. Results (1) The cure rate of the treatment group was 90.0％ and that of the control group was 60.0％, indicating that the therapeutic effect on TCM symptoms in the treatment group was stronger than that of the control group(P < 0.05).(2) In respect of the relief of constipation, the markedly effective rate was 93.3％ in the treatment group and was 50.0％ in the control group, and the overall effective rate was 100.0％ in the treatment group and was 73.3％ in the control group, the difference being significant between the two groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(3) During the treatment, the percentage of patients with weekly completely spontaneous defecation frequency ≥3 was 86.7％ in the treatment group, and was 53.3％ in the control group, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). (4) The results of 3-month follow-up after the completion of treatment course showed that one case from the treatment group had the recurrence of constipation, and the recurred cases from the control group were 6, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Oral use of Baizhu Shengjiang Decoction combined with Prucalopride Succinate Tablets exerts certain therapeutic effect for chronic functional constipation, which is effective both on relieving constipation symptoms and on reducing recurrence rate.
