Abstract

Objective To explore the influence of integrated Chinese and western medicine therapy on anxiety,sugar metabolism and subjective well-being for type 2 diabetes Patients associated with anxiety.Methods Use glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc),trait anxiety inventory(TAI),and Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH) to evaluate the condition of 60 patients with type 2 diabetes associated with anxiety.The patients participated in the study were randomly divided into Western medicine therapy group(control group)and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy group (experimental group),with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with paroxetine while the experimental group was treated with paroxetine plus Jiawei-Xiaoyaowan.6 weeks after treatment,we tested the HbAlc level.TAI score and MUNSH score of those patients.Results After 6 weeks,the TAI score of patients in both experimental group and control group have obviously decreased (before treatment:54.07±6.41 and 56.33 ±6.01,respectively; after treatment:38.89±6.70 and 45.29±6.55,respectively) and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).And the TAI score of the two groups after treatment was significantly different (P＜0.05).For both experimental and control groups,the HbA1e level were not obviously changed before and after the study with P＞0.05 (before treatment:8.14±2.69 and 8.07±2.11,respectively; after treatment:8.21±2.07 and 7.92± 1.90,respectively).Comparison between groups also showed no significant difference.MUNSH score have obviously increased in experimental group (before treatment:40.49±5.22; after treatment:44.53 ± 6.28,P＜0.05).The result of comparison between the two groups after treatment shows that MUNSH score of patients in the experimental group were obviously improved compared with patients in the control group (57.56 ±6.39),and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine therapy can obviously release anxiety and enhance subjective well-being in patients with cerebral infarction associated with anxiety.
