Clinical Efficacy of Wenfei Jianpi Decoction on Moderate to Severe Persistent Allergic Rhinitis with Lung Qi Deficiency and Cold Syndrome
To observe the efficacy of Wenfei Jianpi decoction on moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis (AR) with Lung Qi deficiency and cold syndrome and its effect on substance P (SP) in nasal secretions and peripheral blood proinflammatory factors.
Method:
2
One hundred and sixty-six patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group by random number table. Patients in control group got budesonide nasal spray
2 times/days
and cetirizine hydrochloride tablets
10 mg/days. And patients in observation group got Wenfei Jianpi decoction for oral
1 dose/day. A course of treatment was 8 weeks. Before and after treatment
nasal obstruction
itching
sneezing
runny nose
itchy eyes
tears and nasal sign were scored
nasal airway resistance was detected
and rhinoconjunctivits quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) were scored. Before and after treatment
levels of SP immunoglobulin E (IgE) in peripheral blood
interleukin-4 (IL-4)
interleukin-5 (IL-5)
interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
) were detected
and eosinophil (EOS) were calculated.
Result:
2
By rank sum test
the clinical efficacy in observation group was better than that in control group (
Z
=2.073
P
<
0.05). Before and after treatment
scores of total score of nasal symptoms
ocular symptoms and subjective symptoms and nasal sign score were all lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.05). Except sleep and emotion
scores of other dimensions and the total scores of RQLQ were all lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.05). EOS in observation group was less than that in control group (
P
<
0.05). And nasal resistance declined in observation group (
P
<
0.05)
and levels of IgE
SP
IL-4
IL-5
IL-6
TNF-
α
and nasal resistance were lower than those in control group (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Wenfei Jianpi decoction can be used to treat moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis by relieving subjective symptoms and signs
improving quality of life
inhibiting inflammatory factors and reducing allergic reaction.
