Objective To study the efficacy of Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction combined with betahistine hydrochloride for injection on vertigo and its influence on symptom relief time,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score and quality of life.Methods 88 vertigo patients were divided into a western medicine group and a traditional Chinese medicine group according to whether they were treated with Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction or not,each with 44 cases.The western medicine group was treated with betahistine hydrochloride,and the traditional Chinese medicine group was treated with Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction based on the western medicine group.Comparison was made on clinical efficacy,symptom relief time,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,dizziness handicap inventory(DHI),Berg balance scale(BBS)and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF(QOL-BREF)score before and after treatment between the two groups.Results After treatment,the total effective rate of the traditional Chinese medicine group was 97.73%,which was significantly higher than the western medicine group's 81.82%(P<0.05).The relief time of vertigo,nausea and vomiting and balance dysfunction in the traditional Chinese medicine group were(3.78±0.56),(2.85±0.52)and(2.85±0.52)d,which were shorter than(5.87±1.26),(4.87±1.23)and(6.89±1.60)d in the western medicine group(P<0.05).After treatment,DHI score and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score in both groups were lower than those before treatment,and BBS score was higher than that before treatment;the traditional Chinese medicine group had traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score of(4.18±1.63)points and DHI score of(26.19±4.32)points,which were significantly lower than(6.82±1.47)and(32.37±5.66)points in the western medicine group;BBS score of(37.84±6.78)points in the traditional Chinese medicine group was significantly higher than(32.31±6.66)points in the western medicine group(P<0.05).After treatment,QOL-BREF score in both groups was higher than that before treatment,and QOL-BREF score of(88.52±6.94)points in the Chinese medicine group was higher than(82.73±7.12)points in the western medicine group(P<0.05).Conclusion Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction combined with betahistine hydrochloride for injection has a good effect in the treatment of vertigo,which can effectively relieve clinical symptoms,shorten the course of treatment,improve patients'balance function and quality of life.
