Clinical Effect of Shugan Granule on Depression of Liver Qi Stagnation Type in Perimenopausal Period
To observe the clinical efficacy of Shugan granule on perimenopausal depressive disorder (stagnation of liver Qi and Qi stagnation) and its effect on sex hormone and inflammatory factors.
Method:
2
One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into control group (60 cases) and observation group (60 cases) by random number table. Both groups got Tibolone tablets
2.5 mg/time
1 time/day. Patients in control group got flupentixol and melitracen tablets once every morning and noon
1 tablet/time. In addition to the therapy of control group
patients in observation group got Shugan granule
1 pack/time
2 times/days. And a course of treatment was 8 weeks. Main indexes were graded by Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17)
self-rating depression scale (SDS) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). And secondary indexes were scored by self-rating anxiety scale (SAS)
stagnation of liver Qi and Qi stagnation
improved kupperman (KI)
levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
luteinizing hormone (LH)
estradiol (E
2
)
5-serotonin (5-HT)
brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
interleukin-1
β
(IL-1
β
)
IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
) before and after treatment.
Result:
2
By rank sum test
the clinical efficacy on depressed and perimenopausal syndrome in observation groups was better than that in control group (
Z
=2.038
P
<
0.05
Z
=2.316
P
<
0.05). Scores of HAMD-17
SDS
EPQ-N
SAS
KI and stagnation of liver qi and qi stagnation were lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01)
whereas score of EPQ-E was higher than that in control group (
P
<
0.01). And levels of FSH
LH
IL-1
β
IL-6 and TNF-
α
were lower than those in control groups (
P
<
0.01). Levels of E
2
BDNF and 5-HT were higher than those in control groups (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Shugan granule can relieve depression
inquietude and symptoms caused by perimenopausal syndrome
regulate sex hormone
5-HT
BDNF and inflammatory reaction
with a better clinical effect than pure western medicine treatment.
