Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of tiotropium plus sustained-release theophylline in treating stable moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) . Methods A randomized clinical trail was conducted in 80 patients with stable moderate COPD, who were admitted to our hospital from March 2008 to December 2009. All patients were divided into two groups randomly and accepted tiotropium (groupⅠ ,n =40) or tiotropium plus sustained-release theophylline (group Ⅱ ,n =40) treatment for 12 weeks. Results Seventy patients completed the study,in which 36 cases had tiotropium alone and 34 cases had combination therapy. At the end of treatment, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in the comparisons of FEV1, FEV1%, FVC, FEV1/FVC, activity score and impacts score of the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) (Ps > 0. 05). While the symptoms score (53.08 ± 12.25 vs.59.39±9.74,t=2.39,P<0.05) and total score (23. 91 ±2. 57 vs. 25. 27 ±2.14, t =2.40, P <0.05) of SGRQ were significantly lower in group Ⅱ compared to group Ⅰ. Six adverse events,including dry mouth (n =4), palpitation (re = 1) , constipation (n = 1), were observed in tiotropium alone group during the treatment period. Eleven adverse events were observed in combination treatment group, including dry mouth (re = 3) ,stomach discomfort or nausea (n = 3), diarrhea (re = 2) , palpitation (n = 2), constipation (n = 1) . The incidences of adverse reactions of two groups had no significant difference (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Compared with the single application of tiotropium, tiotropium plus sustained-release theophylline therapy can alleviate symptoms and improve life quality in patients with stable moderate COPD,without significantly increasing adverse reactions.
