Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Guanqiao Zhengqi holistic therapy in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Methods:A total of 200 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who received treatment in the Department of Otolaryngology, Shanxi Provincial Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Hospital ( n = 72) and Shanxi Yishengtang Traditional Chinese Medicine Center ( n = 128) from January 2021 to January 2022 were included in this study. These patients were randomly assigned to undergo treatment either with mometasone furoate nasal spray and levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets (control group, n = 100) or Guanqiao Zhengqi holistic therapy combined with mometasone furoate nasal spray and levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets (observation group). All patients were treated for 4 weeks and followed up for 3 months. Clinical efficacy, modified Visual Analogue Scale score, Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scoring system score, and duration of glucocorticoid and anti-leukotriene use were compared between the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [92.00% (92/100) vs. 73.00% (73/100), χ2 = 18.45, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the modified Visual Analogue Scale score between the two groups before treatment ( Z = 1.37, P = 0.170). There was a significant difference in the modified Visual Analogue Scale score between the two groups after treatment ( Z = -5.27, P < 0.001). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scoring system score between the two groups ( Z = -1.65, P = 0.098) and the Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scoring system score differed significantly between the two groups after treatment ( Z = -6.03, P < 0.001). The duration of glucocorticoid and anti-leukotriene use in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [10.00 (10.00, 14.00) days vs. 42.00 (28.00, 70.00) days, 7.00 (7.00, 7.00) days vs. 21.00 (14.00, 26.25) days, Z = -11.27, P < 0.001, Z = -12.31, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Based on the conventional treatment with western medicine, Guanqiao Zhengqi holistic therapy for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis can effectively reduce clinical symptoms, reduce the dose of hormones and anti-leukotriene used, shorten the use cycle, and improve the therapeutic efficacy.
