Clinical Effect of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine on Skin Pruritus

Objective To observe the clinical effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine on skin pruritus. Methods 145 patients were randomly divided into control group A(42),control group B(42) and treatment group C (61). 42 cases in control group A were treated with Runfu Zhiyang decoction,42 cases in control group B were treated with Levocetirizine tablet,and 61 cases in treatment group C were treated with integrated medicine above. Results ① Comparation of curative effect: there were no significant differences between control group A and B (P0.05). While compared with control group A and B,the total effective rate and cured rate of treatment group C was the highest (85.24% and 70.49%,respectively). ② Comparation of score change: there were no significant differences in these three groups before treatment (P0.05). After four weeks' treatment,all the patients in these groups showed substantial improvement in score change (P0.01),especially in treatment group C. Moreover,the treatment group C which treated with integrated medicine had better effect than the control group A and B which treated with single medicine after two weeks' treatment (P0.01). However,there were no significant differences between control group A and B (P0.05). Conclusion The therapy of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine provides a feasible approach for skin pruritus,which demonstrates the rapid,desirable effect and mild side-effect.
