Objective To observe the effect of Chinese medication according to syndrome identification
Chinese medication according to syndrome identification combined with acupoint application and conventional western medicine treatment on forced vital capacity(FVC)
forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)
FEV1/FVC and peak expiratory flow(PEF)in mild to moderate bronchial asthma patients with acute exacerbation.Methods Totally 364mild to moderate bronchial asthma patients with acute exacerbation were randomized into 3groups.The Chinese medication group was given oral Chinese medicine granules and the combo therapy group was added acupoint application.The western medication group was given Theophylline orally.The treatment course lasted for 10days.FVC
FEV1
FEV1/FVC and PEF were observed before and after treatment.Results There were significant differences in FEV1/FVC
FVC
FEV1and PEF between before and after treatment in the Chinese medication group(P<0.05).There was significant difference in FEV1/FVC and PEF between before and after treatment in the combo therapy group(P<0.05).There were significant differences in FEV1/FVC
FVC and PEF between before and after treatment in the western medication group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference between groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Chinese medication according to syndrome identification could control asthma through improving FEV1/FVC
FVC
FEV1and PEF obviously.The effect of Chinese medication according to syndrome identification combined with acupoint application in improving pulmonary function indicators is poorer than those of Chinese medication according to syndrome identification and western medication.
