ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy of Sanjin granules in the treatment of residual stones after extracorpo-real shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL). METHODS:72 patients with residual stones after ESWL were selected and randomly divided into group A and B with 36 cases in each. Patients in group A were given Sanjin granules with warm water,2 times/d,20g/time;B group were treated with conventional therapy as drinking more water combined with jumping movement. Therapeutic efficacies of two groups were observed after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. RESULTS:After 4 weeks treatment,the total effective rate was 33.33% in group A and 13.89% in group B,there was statistically significant difference(P<0.05);After 8 weeks treatment,the total effective rate was 63.89% in group A and 19.44% in group B,there was statistically significant difference(P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Sanjin granules can pass the residual gallstones after ESWL effectively,showing a significant therapeutic efficacy.
