Objective:To investigate the characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine tongue features in pa-tients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),and to provide a reference basis for the treatment of IBD by Tradi-tional Chinese Medicine.Methods:From March to December 2022,the patients who underwent colonoscopy were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine,including 27 IBD pa-tients(the IBD group)and 25 healthy individuals(the normal control group).We collected their tongue features and analyzed the differences in their distribution.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the inflammatory bowel disease group and the normal control group in the comparison of tongue color and coating color(P＞0.05).Compared with the normal control group,the IBD group had a lower percentage of normal tongue shape(P＜0.05)and a higher percentage of toothed tongue and greasy coating(P＜0.05).In the subgroup analysis,there was no statistically significant difference between the ulcerative colitis group and the Crohn's disease group in the comparison of tongue features(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Compared with the normal control group,the tongue of IBD patients tends to show teethed tongue and greasy moss,features that are related to spleen deficiency and dampness.
