Clinical effect of comprehensive intervention based on the theory of treating disease on chronic bronchitis patients with phlegm dampness
Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention based on the theory of treating disease on chronic bronchitis(CB)with phlegm dampness.Methods A total of 92 cases of CB patients with phlegm dampness in our hos-pital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected and randomly divided into control group(n =46)and the treatment group(n =46).All patients were given routine Western medicine(RWM),and those in the treatment group were addtionally given comprehensive intervention based on the theory of treating disease.After 12 weeks of intervention,the curative efficacy of the two groups was calculated,the phlegm-dampness constitution scale,lung function indexes(including forced vital capacity[FVC],forcedexpiratoryvolumein1 second[FEV1]and FEV1/FVC),inflammatory factor(including C-reactive protein[CRP],tumornecrosisfactoralpha[TNF-α],interleukin-6[IL-6])wereincludedascomparatorsbetweengroupsbefore and after intervention.Results After intervention,the scores of phlegm-dampness constitution scale in the both groups were significantly lower than those before intervention(P<0.05),especially in the treatment group(P<0.05).The levels of FVC,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the both groups were significantly higher than those those before intervention(P<0.05),and the in-crease was more in the treatment group relative to the control group(P<0.05).Thelevelsof CRP,TNF-α and IL-6 in the both groups were significantly lower than those before intervention(P<0.05),and the decrease was more in the treatment group relative to the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The comprehen-sive intervention based on the theory of treating disease on CB pa-tients with phlegm-dampness syndrome has a definite clinical effect.It can significantly improve the condition of phlegm-dampness constitution,increase lung function,reduce inflammatory response,and actively control the disease.
