ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of Wenxin granule combined with Paroxetine in the treatment of the elderly patients with depression after fracture.Methods 80 patients with depression after fracture were randomly divided into a control group and a study group(n=40 cases,per group),and both groups were treated with the conventional treatment. On this basis, the control group was treated with Paroxetine,while the study group was treated with Wenxin granule combined with Paroxetine. The HAMD score and HAMA score were detected in the patients before the treatment and 4 and 8 weeks after the treatment separately.Results Before the treatment,there was no statistical significance in HAMD and HAMA score(t=0.512, 0.520,P>0.05). After treated for 4 and 8 weeks,compare with the control group,both HAMD score(t=1.828, 2.259,P<0.05) and HAMA score(t=1.819, 2.261,P<0.05) were decreased in the study group. After treatment for 4 and 8 weeks, compare with the control group, the total efficiency showed in the HAMD reduction rate of the study group was better(χ2=3.203, 4.370,P<0.05).Conclusions Wenxin granule combined with Paroxetine can significantly decrease HAMD and HAMA score,obviously improve the depression symptoms in the elderly patients with depression after fracture.
