Abstract
To investigate the efficacy of Shenqi Runchang Tongbian Decoction in the treatment of children with constipation and its effect on the clinical symptoms of children. Methods: From January 2016 to January 2020, 100 patients with constipation were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was treated with lactulose oral solution, and the study group was treated with Shenqi Runchang Tongbian Decoction. Both groups were administered with drugs for 14 days, and the two groups were followed up on the 28th day. The effectiveness of the two groups was compared before treatment and during follow-up. The changes of various symptom scores were compared before treatment, after treatment and during follow-up, and the changes of primary symptom score, secondary symptom score and total score were compared before treatment, after treatment and during follow-up. Results: After treatment, the effectiveness of the study group was higher than that of the control group at follow-up (P <0.05). After treatment and during the follow-up, the scores of facial color, lips, sleep, urination, hand-foot-heart-chest, appetite, halitosis, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, defecation duration, defecation difficulty, defecation frequency and stool property of the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of facial color, sleep, urination and hand-foot-heart-chest symptoms before and after treatment of the control group and the study group (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of facial color, lips, sleep, urination and hand-foot-heart-chest symptoms before treatment and during follow-up between the control group and the study group (P > 0.05). The scores of lip symptoms after treatment in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The scores of appetites, halitosis, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, defecation duration, defecation difficulty, defecation frequency, stool property after treatment and during follow-up in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P <0.05). The total score, the secondary symptom score and the primary symptom score of the two groups before treatment and during follow-up were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). The total score, the secondary symptom score and the primary symptom score in the study group were lower than those in the control group after treatment and during follow-up (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of children with constipation with Shenqi Runchang Tongbian Decoction can improve the secondary symptoms and primary symptoms of children and improve the comprehensive curative effect, especially in the aspects of improving appetite, halitosis, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, defecation duration, defecation difficulty, defecation frequency and stool property.
