Abstract:
Objective
To observe the clinical curative effect of Chinese medicine fumigation formula in the treatment of children with HenochSchonlein purpura.
Methods
From January 2016 to January 2017, 60 children with HenochSchonlein purpura were treated at the Children's Medical Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 30 cases each. The control group was given conventional treatment, and the observation group was given Chinese medicine fumigation treatment on the basis of the treatment for the control group: once a day, 30 to 40 minutes each time, 3 days as a course of treatment, and treatment lasting for 3 courses. The clinical effect of the two groups was observed; the relief time of skin purpura and joint swelling; and the number of relapses within 24 hours after treatment were also recorded.
Results
Ridit analysis showed that the effect in the observation group was better than in the control group, and the relief of joint pain was also better. There was fewer relapses within 24 hours in the observation group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The time for purpura to disappear in observation group was (4.23±1.04)d, which was shorter than the control group,(7.87±1.80)d, and there was statistical difference(P<0.05).
Conclusion:Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation formula has significant curative effect on children with HenochSchonlein purpura, especially in the rash subsidence and relief time of joint swelling and pain, and the method is simple, safe and noninvasive, which is worthy of clinical application.
