ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of montmorillonite powder combined with Kangfuxin liquid in the treatment of stomatitis complicated by oral ulcer. Methods:A total of 124 patients with stomatitis complicated by oral ulcer who received treatment in Zhoushan Women and Children Hospital, China between January 2019 and October 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive treatment either with montmorillonite powder alone (control group, n = 62) or montmorillonite powder and Kangfuxin liquid (observation group, n = 62). Visual Analogue Scale score before and after treatment, duration of ulcer pain and wound recovery time, curative effect and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, Visual Analogue Scale score in each group was significantly decreased compared with before treatment ( t = 5.862, 8.223, both P < 0.05). After treatment, Visual Analogue Scale score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(0.72 ± 0.23) points vs. (1.22 ± 0.47) points, t = 2.667, P < 0.05]. The time to ulcer pain relief and the time to wound recovery in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ( t = 3.467, 2.667, both P < 0.05). Effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [96.77% (60/62) vs. 85.48% (53/62), χ2 = 4.888, P < 0.05]. There were no adverse reactions in each group. Conclusion:Combined application of montmorillonite powder and Kangfuxin liquid for the treatment of stomatitis complicated by oral ulcer can effectively mitigate wound pain, accelerate wound healing, and improve the quality of life. This study is of significant innovation and science. Therefore, the treatment method used in this study is worthy of clinical promotion.
