Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Lipi Qushi Recipe in the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D)of spleen deficiency and dampness superabundance type.Methods Seventy IBS-D patients with spleen deficiency and dampness superabundance type were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 35 patients in each group.The control group was given oral use of Trimebutine Maleate Tablets,and the observation group was given Lipi Qushi Recipe.The two groups were treated for 4 consecutive weeks.The changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,irritable bowel syndrome severity scoring system(IBS-SSS)scores,Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)scores,Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)scores,irritable bowel syndrome quality of life scale(IBS-QOL)scores,and serum interleukin 6(IL-6)level of the two groups were observed before and after the treatment.After treatment,the TCM syndrome efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the treatment process,one case quitted spontaneously,3 cases fell off(failing in following the treatment schedule for some reasons),and one case lost to follow-up in the observation group;in the control group,3 cases quitted spontaneously and 2 cases lost to follow-up.Eventually,there were 30 patients in each of the two groups completing the full course of treatment.(2)After 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate for TCM syndrome efficacy in the observation group was 93.93%(28/30),and that in the control group was 80.00%(24/30).The intergroup comparison showed that the efficacy of TCM of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores,IBS-SSS scores,HAMA scores,HAMD scores and IBS-QOL scores of the two groups were significantly decreased compared with the pre-treatment scores(P＜0.05),and the degree of the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum IL-6 level of patients in the two groups was decreased compared with that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the degree of the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(5)In the course of treatment,no obvious adverse reactions occurred in the two groups of patients,with a high safety.Conclusion Lipi Qushi Recipe exerts certain effect for the treatment of IBS-D patients with spleen deficiency and dampness superabundance type,which can significantly alleviate the intestinal symptoms of the patients,reduce the intestinal inflammatory reaction of the patients,improve the anxiety and depression emotions,and improve the quality of life of the patients.
