Therapeutic effect of Dachengqi Tang combined with acupoint applications in the treatment of acute pancreatitis
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Dachengqi Tang combined with acupoint applications in the treatment of acute pancreatitis.Methods A total of 81 patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were enrolled for the study.They were randomly divided into a Dachengqi Tang group,an acupoint application group,and a combined group(Dachengqi Tang combined with acupoint applications),with 27 patients in each group.The treatment effect,TCM syndrome scores,laboratory indicators before and after treatment,and the adverse reactions after treatment were compared among the three groups.Results The treatment effect of the combined group was better than that of the Dachengqi Tang group and the acupoint application group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of nausea,vomiting,epigastric fullness,severe abdominal pain,thirst,and insufficient drinking were significantly decreased in the three groups of patients(P<0.05),and these scores in the combined group were lower than those in the Dachengqi Tang group and the acupoint application group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of blood amylase(AMS),diamine oxidase(DAO),and C-reactive protein(CRP)in the three groups were significantly decreased compared to before treatment,and the combined group was lower than the Dachengqi Tang group and the acupoint application group,with a statistical significant difference(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of Dachengqi Tang and acupoint applications has a significant therapeutic effect in the treatment of acute pancreatitis,which can effectively improve patients'clinical symptoms,enhance their gastrointestinal motility,and promote the recovery of their gastrointestinal function,suitable for clinical use.
