ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of Gandou decoction in treating Wilson's disease (WD) with dampness heat accumulation accompanied by rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD). MethodFrom April 2019 to August 2023,62 patients with dampness heat accumulation type WD accompanied by RBD who met the inclusion criteria were selected from the Department of Encephalopathy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group with 31 cases each using a computer distributor. The control group received routine copper removal treatment,while the observation group received additional treatment with Gandou decoction on the basis of the control group. Eight days was one course of treatment,totaling three courses. The scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes,RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) scores,RBD questionnaire-Hong Kong (RBDQ-HK) scores,polysomnography (PSG) parameters,24-hour urine copper (24 h U-Cu) levels,and non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper (NCC) levels between the two groups before and after treatment were compared,and adverse reactions were observed. ResultSixty trial cases were ultimately completed,with 30 cases in each group. Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference in various indicators between the two groups, and thus they were comparable. Compared with those before treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores,RBDSQ scores and RBDQ-HK scores of the two groups were significantly reduced,the 24 h U-Cu levels were significantly increased,and the NCC levels were significantly reduced (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed better improvement in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores, RBDSQ scores, RBDQ-HK scores, and NCC levels (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with those before treatment,the total sleep time (TST),sleep efficiency (SE),sleep/REM latency,the proportion of N1/N2/REM stages,arousal index (ARI),and proportion of phasic electromyographic activity (P-EMG-A) were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment,the observation group showed more significant improvements in the proportion of TST,SE,REM stages,ARI,and P-EMG-A proportion (P<0.05). ConclusionGandou decoction can not only improve the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome of WD patients with dampness heat accumulation accompanied by RBD but also alleviate their RBD symptoms.
