Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Yangxue-Pinggan decoction on intractable headache. Methods A total of 66 patients with intractable headache who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups by random number table method, 33 in each group. The control group was given flunarizine hydrochloride capsule orally, while the treatment group was given professor Guan Youbo's Yangxue-Pinggan decoction. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The improvement rates of headache were observed. The headache attacks, the degree of headache, the duration of headache and the accompanying symptoms were scored, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total effective rate was 97.0％ (32/33) in the treatment group and 63.6％ (21/33) in the control group, which there was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=11.591, P=0.001). After treatment, the scores of the headache attacks, the degree of headache, the duration of headache and the accompanying symptoms in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t=17.689, 12.523, 26.907, 25.569, P<0.001). Conclusions The Yangxue-Pinggan decoction can obviously improve the clinical symptoms of intractable headache, relieve the pain degree and reduce the number of attacks, and its clinical efficacy is better than oral flunarizine hydrochloride capsule.
