Abstract
Introduction: Postoperative gastrointestinal tract dysfunction is considered a common complication affecting patients undergoing intestinal surgery. This research aims to provide evidence to assess the efficacy and safety of Baizhu Shaoyao San (BSS) or modified BSS in treating postoperative diarrhea of colorectal cancer patients. Methods: Eighty patients with colorectal cancer were randomized within 2 weeks after surgery to receive either modified BSS or Loperamide combined with the respective dummy. The curative effect was evaluated with the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score. Determination of motilin and gastrin in plasma was conducted utilizing ELISA. Results: Compared with Loperamide therapy, the efficacy of modified BSS was statistically significant, the TCM syndrome score decreased, and the total effective rate increased. Levels of motilin and gastrin in plasma decreased. Conclusion: The curative effect and safety of modified BSS were statistically significant.
