Clinical study of Changzhi-Xiaoyuan Decoction combined auxiliary nasal endoscopic surgery treating radioactive sinusitis / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of Changzhi-Xiaoyuan Decoction auxiliary nasal endoscopic surgery for radioactive sinusitis. Methods:A total of 90 patients with radioactive sinusitis included inour hospital from May 2016 to June 2018 were divided into two group according to the random number table method, 45 in each group. The control group was treated with nasal endoscopic surgery, nasopharyngeal flushing after the surgery andoral clarithromycin. The observation group was treated with Changzhi-Xiaoyuan Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 2 months, following up for 12 months. Before and after the treatment, for clinical symptom scores, using the modified Lund Mackay Postoperative Endoscopic Score (MLMES) respectively from bilateral maxillary sinus, Ethmoid sinus, frontalsinus, sphenoidsinus, olfactory cleft state of mucous membrane inflammation and mucus secretion and purulent secretion evaluation; tested the cilia transmission rateand clinical efficacy were evaluated. Results:The total effective rate of observation group was 91.1% (41/45), and the control group was 64.4% (29/45). There was statistically significant difference between two groups ( χ2=7.779, P=0.005). After the treatment, stuffy nose, turbinate swelling, nasal secretions, hyposmia, headaches scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group ( t value were 3.558, 5.582, 5.367, 7.442, 7.115, respectively, all Ps<0.01), the MLMES score was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=4.762, P<0.01). After the treatment, cilia transmission rate (4.42 ± 0.51 mm/min vs. 3.87 ± 0.38 mm/min, t=5.801) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The Changzhi-Xiaoyuan Decoction combined with auxiliary nasal endoscopic surgery can reduce symptoms of radioactive sinusitis patients with sinus, restore the function of nasal mucosa, and enhance the clinical curative effect.
