Abstract

This study was aimed to observe the clinical efficacy of Jie-Du Tong-Mai (JDTM) decoction (i.e., detoxi-fication unclogg artery soup) of arteriosclerosis obliterans. A total of 246 arteriosclerosis obliterans cases with the pattern of blood stasis were selected and randomly divided into two groups. In the control group of 120 cases, 0.1 g of aspirin and 20 mg of simvastatin tablets were orally administrated, once a day. In the treatment group of 126 cas-es, JDTM decoction was combined on the basis of oral administration of aspirin and simvastatin tablets. After 8 weeks of treatment, observations were made on improvement of clinical symptoms and changes of ABI, Hs-CRP, TcpO2. The results showed that compared with the control group, clinical symptoms of the treatment group were obvi-ously improved (P< 0.05). And the ABI, CRP, TcpO2 were also obviously increased (P< 0.01). It was concluded that JDTM decoction was effective in the treatment of arteriosclerosis obliterans with the pattern of blood stasis. It al-so indirectly proved the guiding meaning of traditional Chinese medicine that evil causing stasis.
