Methods: A total of 100 recurrent RE patients were divided into treatment group and control group by the random and control principle, with 50 cases in each group. Patients of 2 groups were treated with Shunwei Jiangni Fang and pantoprazole sodium entericcoated capsules respectively for 8 weeks. By comparing TCM syndrome scores and esophagus 24 h- pH parameters improvement, the clinical efficacy and safety of Shunwei Jiangni Fang in treating the liver-spleen-stomach disharmony and cold-dampness-heat recurrent reflux esophagitis, and perform statistics on the recurrence 6 months after treatment ending were evaluated. Results: ① For the patients with TCM syndromes in the treatment group, 4 cases were recovered, 17 cases were improved, 22 cases were effective, and the total effective rate was 86%; for the patients with TCM syndromes in the control group, 2 cases were recovered, 8 cases were improved, 14 cases were effective, and total effective rate was 48%. Difference of total effective rate for 2 groups was significant (P < 0.05). The heartburn, belching, dry mouth, bitter taste, tiredness, distended abdomen and sticky stool in treatment group were more improved than those of control group (P < 0.05); ② In the control group, the patient's 24 h-pH parameters could be improved, especially, the 24h gastric reflux times and times of reflux > 5min could be reduced more than the control group, and difference was significant (P < 0.05). ③ The treatment group was able to improve the patients' esophageal mucosal inflammation, with no statistically significant difference from the control group (P > 0.05). ④ At 6 months after treatment, the recurrence rate of treatment group and control group was 6.0% and 28% respectively, and difference was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Shunwei Jiangni Fang can treat the liver-spleen-stomach disharmony and cold-dampness-heat recurrent reflux esophagitis, with apparently efficacy.
