Objective To observe the clinical effects of external application of Chinese medicine ion introduction through acupiont in the prevention and treatment of hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis following endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP). Methods Three hundred subjects were divided into treatment group and control group randomly, and treated with routine therapy after surgery, moreover, treatment group was treated with external application of Chinese medicine ion introduction through acupiont. The incidence of hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis, the time of serum amylase returned to normal in patients with hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis was observed, and the abdominal pain after ERCP was scored.

The time of serum amylase returned to normal in patients with pancreatitis was (4.25±0.95)d in treatment group and (5.28±1.11)d in control group, with no significant difference (P>0.05). The time of serum amylase returned to normal in patients with hyperamylasemia was (2.88 ± 0.78)d in treatment group and (3.81±1.62)d in control group, showed a significant difference (P<0.05).
