ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the curative effect of stretching therapy combined with oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine Tongjing Powder in treating dysmenorrhea patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Methods Sixty dysmenorrhea patients were randomly divided into two groups, 30 cases in each group. Treatment group was given oral use of Tongjing Powder (mainly composed of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Rhizoma Cyperi, Aspongopus, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Pollen Typhae, Faeces Trogopterori, Rhizoma Curcumae, and Semen Persicae) combined with stretching therapy. The control group was given oral use of Tongjing Powder alone. Each group was treated for 3 menstrual cycles. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of dysmenorhea were observed during the treatment and 3-month follow-up after treatment. Before and after treatment, pulse index (PI), resistance index (RI), the ratio of systolic peak value to the diastolic peak value (A/B) of uterine artery blood flow in the two groups were detected. And the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated after treatment. Results (1) The VAS scores of the two groups after treatment and at the end of the third menstrual cycle after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05), and the decrease in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P < 0.05).(2) After treatment for 3 menstrual cycles, the total effective rate was 96.7％ in the treatment group, which was higher than that in the control group(76.7％). And the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). (3) The color Doppler energy (CDE) imaging results showed that PI, RI, A/B of uterine artery blood flow in the two groups were decreased after treatment (P < 0.05 compared with those before treatment) , but the differences between the two groups were insignificantly(P > 0.05). Conclusion Stretching therapy combined with oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine Tongjing Powder exerts certain short-term and long-term effect in treating dysmenorrhea patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis, with good safety and feasibility.
ABSTRACT
Objective To provide diagnostic basis for blood stasis syndrome (BSS) ,from the point of laboratory medical science . And to further analysis the correlation between qi deficiency and blood stasis ,qi stagnation and blood stasis ,cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome with clinical testing indicators .Methods Chinese medicine qi deficiency and blood stasis ,qi stagnation and blood stasis ,cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome and healthy (healthy group) 50 cases each were analyzed .Blood samples were collected ,Hemorheological indexes ,coagulation indexes ,blood‐lipoid indexes and endothelin (ET ) ,nitric oxide (NO ) ,atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) ,serum free calcium (F‐Ca2+ ) ,C‐reactive protein (CRP) were tested .Results Compared with the healthy ,the results of hemorheological indexes ,blood‐lipoid indexes ,ET ,NO ,ANP ,F‐Ca2+ ,CRP of three types of blood stasis syn‐drome group were different significantly(P<0 .05) .qi deficiency and blood stasis group and qi stagnation and blood stasis group were compared ,the difference of hemorheological indexes (except plasma viscosity ) ,blood‐lipoid indexes ,and ET ,NO ,ANP ,CRP was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome group and qi deficiency and blood stasis group were compared ,the difference of hemorheological indexes ,coagulation indexes ,blood‐lipoid indexes ,and ET ,NO ,ANP ,CRP was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome group and qi stagnation and blood stasis group were compared ,the difference of hemorheological indexes ,coagulation indexes ,blood‐lipoid indexes ,and ET ,NO ,ANP ,CRP was statisti‐cally significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Study shows that clinical laboratory test index provide the experimental basis for the diag‐nosis of qi deficiency and blood stasis ,qi stagnation and blood stasis ,cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome .Improve the objec‐tivity of classification of blood stasis syndrome .To provide a new way of for the development of modern science in promoting tradi‐tional Chinese medicine diagnostics .
