Clinical Observation of the Combined Treatment with Rhinitis No.3 Decoction and Nasal Negative Pressure Displacement for Acute Sinusitis(Pattern of Stagnant Heat in the Gallbladder)
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of the combined treatment with Rhinitis No.3 Decoction and nasal negative pressure displacement for acute sinusitis(pattern of stagnant heat in the gallbladder).Meth-od:A total of 98 patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 49 cases in each group.The control group received nasal negative pressure displacement,while the observation group received Rhinitis No.3 Decoction on the basis of the control group.The treatment period was 2 weeks for both groups.The therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome,TCM syndrome score,VAS score,SNOT-20 scale,Lund-Mackey score,inflammatory indicators,and safety were observed.Results:The total effective rate of the ob-servation group was 91.84%,which was higher than 71.43%of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores,VAS scores,SNOT-20 scale,Lund-Mackey scores,and inflammatory indicators(CRP,WBC,NEUT%)of both groups decreased compared with before treatment(P<0.05).Among them,four items in the TCM syndrome scores,i.e.,the nasal mucus,headache,nasal secretions,and nasal mucosal congestion,as well as purulent mucus in the VAS score showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05),while the other scores showed a more significant decrease in the observation group(P<0.05).There was no statisti-cally significant difference in safety indicators between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:The combination of Rhinitis No.3 Decoction and nasal negative pressure displacement has a significant therapeutic effect on acute si-nusitis(pattern of stagnant heat in the gallbladder),which can improve TCM syndrome,improve quality of life,re-duce inflammatory reactions,and has good safety.
