Clinical Effect of Eliminating Phlegm and Dispelling Dampness Substitute Tea Combined with Western Medicine in Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution Theory
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of eliminating phlegm and dispelling dampness substitute tea combined with western medicine in the treatment of metabolic syndrome based on traditional Chinese medicine constitution theory.Methods:A total of 99 patients with phlegm-dampness metabolic syndrome were divided into the control group,substitute tea drinking group and traditional Chinese and western medicine group according to random number table method,with 33 cases in each group.The control group received lifestyle intervention,the substitute tea drinking group was supplemented with eliminating phlegm and dispelling dampness substitute tea on the basis of the treatment of the control group,and the traditional Chinese and western medicine group was supplemented with eliminating phlegm and dispelling dampness substitute tea and western symptomatic treatment on the basis of the treatment of the control group.After 12 weeks of intervention,the changes of metabolic indexes[body mass,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference,blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipid],constitution and quality of life of patients in the three groups were observed,and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:(1)Comparison of metabolic indexes showed that body mass,BMI,waist circumference,blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipids(except high density lipoprotein cholesterol)in the three groups were all decreased after intervention(P<0.05),and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)Compared with those before intervention,the physical scores of the three groups decreased after intervention(P<0.01),and the difference among the three groups was statistically significant(P<0.01).(3)Quality of life scores of the three groups increased compared with that before intervention in seven dimensions except social functioning(P<0.05).The scores of physical functioning,role-physical,role emotional,vitality,mental health and general health were significantly different among the three groups,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)Comparison of clinical efficacy showed that traditional Chinese and western medicine group(93.55%)was better than substitute tea drinkink group(87.50%)and the control group(68.75%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Eliminating phlegm and dispelling dampness substitute tea can relieve the related clinical symptoms of metabolic syndrome,regulate the phlegm-dampness constitution of patients,make them harmonize,and thus improve the quality of life of patients.
