Shugan Jianpi Granules (疏肝健脾颗粒) Combined with Chushi Zhiyang Oinement (除湿止痒软膏) for Atopic Dermatitis with Sleep Disturbance of Liver Constraint and Spleen Deficiency Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
To explore the effectiveness and potential mechanism of
Shugan Jianpi Granules
(疏肝健脾颗粒) combined with
Chushi Zhiyang Ointment
(除湿止痒软膏) in the treatment of atopic dermatitis with sleep disturbance of liver constraint and spleen deficiency syndrome.
Methods
2
Sixty-six patients with atopic dermatitis combined with sleep disturbance of liver constraint and spleen deficiency syndrome were randomly divided into 33 cases each in the treatment group and the control group. Both groups were treated with
Chushi Zhiyang Ointment
for external use. The treatment group additionally received
Shugan Jianpi Granules
orally, one dose per day; and the control group received cetirizine hydrochloride tablets orally, 10mg per day, taken before bedtime. Both groups were under the treatment for 4 weeks. Clinical effectiveness was evaluated after treatment, and the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index, pruritus visual analog scale (VAS) score, Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score were recorded before and after treatment, and serum levels of melatonin (MLT), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-13 (IL-13), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured. The patients were also tested for blood routine, liver function and kidney function before and after treatment, and the occurrence of adverse events was also observed.
Results
2
The total effective rate in the treatment group (90.63%, 29/32) was significantly higher than that in the control group (66.67%, 20/30,
P
<0.05). After the interventions, the scores for SCORAD, VAS, ISI, and PSQI, as well as the levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, and TNF-α, were significantly reduced in both groups. In contrast, the MLT levels in treatment group significantly e
levated compared to that before treatment (
P
<0.05). Comparing between the two groups after treatment, the scores of SCORAD, ISI, PSQI, and VAS, as well as the levels of serum IL-4 and IL-13 in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the MLT levels were markedly higher than that in the control group (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). There was no obvious abnormality in blood routine, liver function and kidney function in both groups when compared before and after treatment. The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 9.38% (3/32) in the treatment group and 13.33% (4/30) in the control group, and the difference between groups showed no statistical difference (
P
>0.05).
Conclusion
2
On the basis of topical application of
Chushi Zhiyang Ointment
, the combined application of
Shugan Jianpi Granules
can significantly alleviate the degree of skin lesions and itching, and improve the quality of sleep in atopic dermatitis patients with sleep disturbance of liver constraint and spleen deficiency syndrome, and its mechanism may be related to regulating the immune balance, reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors, and elevating the level of MLT.
