Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction combined with balanced acupuncture in the treatment of migraine with yang deficiency and cold congealing syndrome.Methods:Randomized controlled trial. Totally 91 cases of migraine with yang deficiency and cold congealing syndrome in our hospital from March 2021 to May 2022 were selected and divided into 45 cases in the Western medicine group and 46 cases in the integrated Chinese and Western medicine group according to random number table method. The Western medicine group took flunarizine hydrochloride capsules orally, and the integrated Chinese and Western medicine group combined ephedrine and aconiti asarum decoction + balanced acupuncture treatment on the basis of the Western medicine group. Both groups were treated for 1 month. Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome score was performed before and after treatment, the degree of headache was assessed by VAS scale, and the impact of headache on life was assessed by Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6); the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) were determined by radioimmunoassay. The adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate was 82.22% (37/45) in the Western medicine group and 95.65% (44/46) in the integrated Chinese and Western medicine group, with statistical significance ( χ2=4.20, P=0.041). After treatment, the scores of headache, hair, urine and cold limbs in the integrated Chinese and Western medicine group were lower than those in the Western medicine group ( t values were 18.49, 22.29, 21.31, 27.49, P<0.01), and the scores of VAS and HIT-6 were lower than those in the Western medicine group ( t values were 23.20, 9.33, P<0.01). After treatment, the level of 5-HT in the integrated Chinese and Western medicine group [(98.34±6.23) μg/L vs. (85.23±4.21) μg/L, t=11.74] was higher than that of the Western medicine group ( P<0.01); CGRP [(11.24±1.99) ng/L vs. (15.22±2.52) ng/L, t=8.37] was lower than that of the Western medicine group ( P<0.01). During treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 2.22% (1/45) in the Western medicine group and 2.17% (1/46) in the integrated Chinese and Western medicine group, without statistical significance ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction combined with balanced acupuncture can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and life quality of patients of migraine with yang deficiency and cold congealing, and the clinical efficacy can be promoted.
