Clinical effect of modified Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata decoction combined with ear acupoint bean pressing in treatment of ventricular premature beats with deficiency of both Qi and Yin:An analysis of 50 cases
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of modified Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata decoction combined with ear acupoint bean pressing in the treatment of ventricular premature beats with deficiency of both Qi and Yin.Methods:A total of 100 patients with ventricular premature beats with deficiency of both Qi and Yin were divided into treatment group and control group using a random number table,with 50 patients in each group.The pa-tients in the control group received conventional Western medicine treatment,and those in the treatment group re-ceived modified Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata decoction combined with ear acupoint bean pressing in addition to the treatment in the control group.The two groups were compared in terms of total traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome score,heart rate variability,the change in the number of ventricular premature beats,and treatment safety,and overall response was assessed.Results:The treatment group had a significantly higher overall response rate than the control group[92.00%(46/50)vs 78.00%(39/50),P<0.05].After treatment,both groups had a signifi-cant reduction in total TCM syndrome score,and the treatment group had a significantly greater reduction than the control group(P<0.05);both groups had a significant increase in heart rate variability and a significant reduction in the number of ventricular premature beats,and the treatment group had significantly greater changes than the control group(P<0.05).Both groups had no abnormalities in general items such as blood pressure and respiration after treatment,and there were no obvious drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion:In the treatment of ventricular premature beats with deficiency of both Qi and Yin,modified Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata decoction combined with ear acupoint bean pressing can effectively alleviate patient discomfort,regulate heart rate variability,and reduce ven-tricular premature beats,with a good clinical effect and a favorable safety profile.
