Objective:To observe the clinical effects of spleen-invigorating and phlegm-eliminating drink combined with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application in the treatment of moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)in remission.Methods:Ninety-five patients with moderate or severe COPD in remission were randomly divided into 30 patients in group A(conventional Western medicine treatment),32 patients in group B(spleen-invigorating and phlegm-eliminating drink + acupoint application without medicine)and 33 patients in group C(spleen-invigorating and phlegm-eliminating drink+Chinese medicine acupoint application).To compare six minutes walking distance(6MWD),lung function,serum inflammatory factor and dyspnea,clinical efficacy,the number of acute episodes during the treatment,and the occurrence of adverse reactions before and after treatment in the three groups.Results:Lung function,6MWD score,MRC score,serum inflammatory factor,TCM syndrome and the number of acute episodes improved in the three groups after treatment compared with before treatment(P<0.05),and the improvement in group C was better than that in groups A and B(P<0.05);no significant adverse reactions occurred in the three groups.Conclusion:Spleen-invigorating and phlegm-eliminating drink combined with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application can improve the lung function and clinical symptoms of patients with moderate or severe COPD in remission,which is safe.
