Observation on the effect of Wuwei Tongbian tea combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder in bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy in patients with functional constipation
Objective:To explore the effect of Wuwei Tongbian tea combined with compound polyethylene gly-col electrolyte powder(PEG)on bowel preparation before colonoscopy in patients with functional constipation.Methods:A total of 480 patients with constipation who underwent colonoscopy in Kunshan Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected as the research objects.The con-trol group(233 cases)was given three packages PEG added to 3 000 mL warm water,orally taken in batches.The observation group(247 cases)took Wuwei Tongbian tea one day in advance on the basis of the control group.The intestinal cleanliness,bubble condition,acceptance of medication regimen,polyp detection rate and safety evalua-tion of the two groups were recorded.Results:The Boston bowel preparation scale score of intestinal cleanliness in the observation group patients was significantly better than the control group(P<0.01),and the incidence of nau-sea,vomiting,and abdominal distension was lower than the control group(P<0.01).Furthermore,the accept-ance of the treatment plan of the observation group patients was higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion:The effect of Wuwei Tongbian tea combined with PEG in bowel preparation of patients with functional constipation is better than that of PEG alone.The intestinal cleanliness is better,the side effects are less,and the patients are more acceptable.It has certain clinical promotion value.
