Clinical Study on Chaiqin Xiaoyong Decoction (柴芩消痈饮) Combined with Jinhuang Ointment (金黄膏) for the Nodular Stage of Acne Mastitis of Liver Meridian Heat Accumulation Type:A Randomized,Double-Blind,Placebo-Controlled Trial
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound
Chaiqin Xiaoyong Decoction
(柴芩消痈饮, CXD) combined with
Jinhuang Ointment
(金黄膏, JO) in treating the nodular stage of acne mastitis of liver meridian heat accumulation type.
Methods
2
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 108 patients with liver meridian heat accumulation type acne mastitis in the nodular stage were randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group, with 54 patients in each group. Both groups received topical application of JO once daily at a thickness of 3~5 mm for 8 hours, along with standard nursing care. On this basis, the treatment group received oral CXD granules, while the control group received placebo granules, administered twice daily, 3 sachets per dose, for 14 consecutive days. Clinical efficacy, TCM symptom scores, nodule size, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were compared. At the end of treatment, efficacy and safety indicators were evaluated. A 6-month follow-up was conducted to compare the proportion of patients undergoing surgical treatment.
Results
2
The total clinical effi
cacy rate in the treatment group was 90.38% (47/52), significantly higher than 32.00% (16/50) in the control group (
P
<0.01). The treatment group also showed significantly lower TCM symptom scores, VAS scores, nodule size, WBC count, CRP level, and SII (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). During follow-up, the surgical intervention rate in the treatment group was 5.77% (3/52), lower than 14.00% (7/50) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (
P
<0.01). No significant abnormalities were observed in safety indicators before and after treatment in either group.
Conclusion
2
CXD effectively reduces nodule size and alleviates symptoms such as redness and pain in patients with acne mastitis of liver meridian heat accumulation type, improves TCM symptom scores, enhances overall clinical efficacy, and demonstrates good safety.
