Influence of Supplemented Dahuang Mudan Decoction Combined with High-Energy Red Light on Patients with Erysipelas and Lymphedema of Lower Limbs
Objective To investigate the effect of supplemented dahuang mudan decoction combined with high-energy red light on patients with lower extremity erysipelas and lymphedema.Methods A total of 50 patients with erysipelas and lymphedema of lower limbs admitted to the hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 25 cases in each group.The control group was treated with high-energy red light,and the observation group was treated with Supplemented Dahuang mudan decoction on the basis of the control group.TCM syndrome score,lower limb swelling degree and inflammatory factor level were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the swelling degree of lower limbs in the observation group was less than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of fever,red swelling,burning pain and blisters of lower limbs in the observation group were(1.36±0.18)points,(1.25±0.17)points,(1.01±0.11)points and(1.14±0.17)points,respectively.which were lower than(2.27±0.25)points,(2.39±20.24)points,(1.79±0.15)points,(1.95±0.23)points of the control group,the differences between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,leukocyte count,neutrophil count and C-reactive protein in the observation group were(7.01±1.16)×109/L,(4.48±0.36)×109/L,(7.21±1.06)mg/L,respectively,which were lower than(8.63±1.59)×109/L,(5.31±0.59)×109/L,(11.36±1.59)mg/L of the control group,the differences were statistically significant between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion External application of supplemented dahuang mudan decoction combined with high-energy red light can alleviate the symptoms of patients with lower extremity erysipelas accompanied with lymphedema and control the inflammatory response.
