Intervention effect of traditional Chinese medicine five-tone therapy on population of qi-asthenia constitution
Objective To observe the intervention effect and safety of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)five-tone therapy forpopulation of qi-asthenia constitution in state of approaching illness,and to provide evidence-based medicine for the populations.Methods Totally 76 patients with qi-asthenia constitution were randomly assigned into observation group(n=38)and control group(n=38,1 case dropped off).All patients were managed bylifestyle intervention,and those in observation group were additionally given the intervention of TCM five-tone therapy.A 6-month intervention was performed to compare Qi defi-ciency syndrome scale scores,Qi deficiency of five zang organs scale scores,short-form36 health survey scale(SF-36),fa-tigue assessment instrument(FAI),blood routine,urine routine,liver and kidney function,adverse reactions.The treatment ef-ficacy and safety were assessed.Results After intervention,the dimension score of Qi deficiency syndrome scale in the both groups were significantly decreased,which were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The dimension score of Qi deficiency of five zang organs scale in the both groups were significantly decreased,which de-creased notably in the observation group compared with the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the SF-36 scores in the observation group increased significantly(P<0.05),which were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The SF-36 scoresexceptforemotionalfunctioninthecontrolgroupweresignificantlyincreased(P<0.05).After inter-vention,FAI scores in the both groups were significantly decreased than those before intervention(P<0.05),the decrease in the ob-servation group was more common than the control group(P<0.05).The levels of blood routine,liver and kidney function,u-rine routine,electrocardiogram in the observation group was com-parableto those of the control groupbefore and after intervention(P>0.05).No adverse reaction was found during intervention.Conclusion The combination of lifestyle intervention and TCM five-tone therapy has obvious effects and high safetyin population of qi-asthenia constitution,which is conducive to clinical promotion and application.
