Effects of Wenbu Feishen Dingchuan on Clinical Efficacy and Pulmonary Function of Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Objective: To investigate the effects of wenbufeishendingchuan(WBFSDC) on Clinical efficacy and pulmonary function of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Method: The 100 patients with AECOPD were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,50 cases each.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,and the treatment group was given Chinese traditional medicine(Ginseng and Tokay Gecko Powder) for oral use and external application of Borneol and white mustard seed powder on acupoint based on routine western medicine.Curative effects,the average times of hospitalization for recurrence in 12 months and pulmonary function were observed.Results: After treatment,FEV1,FVC,FEV1/FCV and FEV1% Pred of the two groups both increased(P0.01),and FEV1,FVC,FEV1/FCV and FEV1% Pred in treatment group was higher than those in control group(P0.05,P0.01).In 6 months and12 months post-discharge,the average hospitalized times in treatment group were lower than those in control group(P 0.01).The total effective rate was 92.0% in treatment group,better than 78.0% in control group(P 0.05).Conclusion: Oral use of WBFSDC combined with external application of Chinese traditional medicine can obviously improve the pulmonary function of patients with COPD,increase the curative efficacy,and reduce the recurrence.
