Effect of Huanglian Wendan decoction on chronic atrophic gastritis patients with anxiety and depression
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of Huanglian Wendan decoction on chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)patients with anxiety and depression,and its impact on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score and anxiety and depression scale score.Methods A total of 104 CAG patients with anxiety and depression admitted to Fuyang Cancer Hospital in Anhui Province from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected and randomly divided into the observation group(52 cases treated with conventional Western medicine)and the control group(52 cases treated with Huanglian Wendan decoction on the basis of Western medicine).The clinical efficacy,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,anxiety and depression score and gastric mucosa function related indexes were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the clinical treatment effectiveness rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05),and the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores such as epigastric distension and pain in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The anxiety scale(Hamilton Anxiety Scale,HAMA)and depression scale(Hamilton Depression Scale,HAMD)scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05),and the pepsinogen(PG)Ⅰ and PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in PGⅡ between the observation group and the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion Huanglian Wendan decoction is effective in the treatment of CAG patients with anxiety and depression,and can effectively improve the clinical symptoms,anxiety and depression and gastric mucosa function.
