Study on the Effect of Probiotics in the Treatment of Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction(Constipation Type)
Objective To analyze the benefits of probiotics in the treatment of neurogenic bowel dysfunction(constipa-tion type).Methods The clinical data of 159 hospitalized patients with neurogenic bowel dysfunction(constipation type)admitted to the Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital from 2020 to 2021 were retrospectively selected.They were grouped according to the different treatment methods,the control group(n=116 cases,treated with lactulose and metoclopramide)and the observation group(n=43 cases,treated with probiotics),and the defecation of the pa-tients in the two groups was compared.Results After treatment,the frequency of defecation in the observation group was(3.56±0.53)times/week,which was better than that in the control group(2.86±0.41)times/week;the time of def-ecation was(9.41±1.14)min,which was shorter than that in the control group(10.32±1.66)min,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.830,3.922,both P<0.05).After treatment,the gastrointestinal hormone level of the observation group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores of neurogenic bowel dysfunction in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after 2 weeks and 1 month of treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion For pa-tients with neurogenic bowel alysfunction,the addition of probiotics can increase the frequency of defecation and im-prove gastrointestinal hormone levels as well as neurogenic bowel dysfunction scores.
