Clinical observation on the combination of Shaoma Zhijing Granules(芍麻止痉颗粒)and psychological intervention in the treatment of 36 children with Tourette syndrome of liver hyperactivity and wind movement type
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Shaoma Zhijing Granules(芍麻止痉颗粒)combined with psychological intervention in the treatment of children with Tourette syndrome of liver hyperactivity and wind movement type.Methods A total of 72 children with Tourette syndrome of liver hyperactivity and wind movement type who were treated in the pediatric outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from February 2021 to February 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group,with 36 cases in each group.The control group was given oral administration of Shaoma Zhijing Granules,while the treatment group received psychological intervention once a week based on the treatment method of the control group.After 8 weeks of treatment,both groups were statistically analyzed for clinical efficacy.The improvement time of symptoms such as blinking,shrugging,shaking the head,and clearing the throat in the treatment group was shorter than that in the control group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the scores of the Yale Tourette Syndrome Severity Scale(YGTSS),traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scale,and Children's Self Awareness Scale(PHCSS)between the two groups before treatment,indicating comparability;After treatment,the YGTSS score and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score in both groups significantly decreased,while the PGCSS score significantly increased.Compared with the same group before treatment,the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05),and the treatment group showed a more significant decrease or increase(P<0.05).The total effec-tive rates of YGTSS score and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score in the treatment group were 94.44%(34/36)and 97.22%(35/36),respectively,significantly higher than 83.33%(30/36)and 86.11%(31/36)in the control group.The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of Shaoma Zhijing Granules and psychological intervention has a significant therapeutic effect on chil-dren with Tourette syndrome of liver hyperactivity and wind movement type,which can significantly improve clinical symptoms and enhance the self-awareness level of children.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
