Clinical Efficacy of Modified Xiao Wuweizitang Combined with Massage Manipulation on Chronic Post-infection Cough
To observe the effect of modified Xiao Wuweizitang combined with massage manipulation on chronic post-infection cough (syndrome of wind-pathogenic pulmonary embedding)
and immunity and inflammatory factors.
Method:
2
One hundred and thirty-five patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group by random number table. Patients (59 cases) in control group got Suhuang Zhike capsules
1 granule/time for 3 to 6-year-old children
2 granules/time
3 times/days for 6 to 12-year-old children
and massage manipulation
1 time/day. Patients (63 cases) in observation group got modified Xiao Wuweizitang combined with massage manipulation. A course of treatment was 10 days. Before treatment
and at the 5
th
and 10
th
day after treatment
visual analogue score of cough (VAS)
cough symptom
syndrome of wind-pathogenic pulmonary embedding and leicester cough questionnaire (LCQ) were scored. And levels of CD3
+
CD4
+
CD8
+
CD4
+
/ CD8
+
interleukin-8
IL-4
tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
)
substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) were detected.
Result:
2
At the 5
th
and 10
th
day after treatment
scores of VAS
cough symptom and syndrome of wind-pathogenic pulmonary embedding in observation group were lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01)
and the clinical efficacy was superior to that in control group (
χ
2
=7.513
P
<
0.01). The disappearance rate of cough in observation group was 57.81%
which was higher than 38.98%in control group (
χ
2
=4.356
P
<
0.05). And the average time of disappearance of cough was shorter than that in control group (
P
<
0.01). Scores of LCQ questionnaire (physiology
psychology and society) and the total score were higher than those in control group (
P
<
0.01)
and levels of TNF-
α
IL-8
IL-4
CGRP and SP were lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Modified Xiao Wuweizitang combined with massage manipulation can relieve cough symptom
shorten the cough course
increase rate of the disappearance of cough
improve the quality of life of children
regulate immune function of children
reduce airway inflammation
airway hyperresponsiveness and cough reflex sensitivity.
