Effect of Ditan Decoction combined with aripiprazole and olanzapine in treatment of schizophrenia and its influence on serum inflammatory factors changes
Objective To study the effect of Ditan Decoction combined with aripiprazole and olanzapine in the treatment of schizophrenia and its influence on serum inflammatory factors chnage.Methods Seventy-seven patients with schizophrenia meeting the requirements visiting the outpatient department and hospitalized in Dazu District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Dazu District Mental Health Center from July 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the observation group(n=38)and control group(n=39).The control group was treated with aripiprazole and olanzapine,and the observation group was combined with Ditan Decoction on the basis of the control group.After 8 weeks of treatment,the TCM syndrome scores,Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)score,serum inflammatory factors(IL-6,IL-1β,IL-17)levels were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 97.37%in the observation group and 84.65%in the control group,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05).The TCM syndrome score of each item and total scores after treatment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),the PANSS positive symptoms,negative symp-toms,general psychopathology and total scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The IL-17,IL-6 and IL-1β levels after treatment in observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Ditan Decoction combined with aripiprazole and olanzapine has significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia,which could further reduce the symptom score of the patients and improve the serum inflammatory factors levels.The treatment is highly safe and worthy of clinical recommendation.
