Method: One hundred and thirty-eight cases with stable COPD were randomly divided into control group and experience group. Control group received routine western medicine therapy and experience group were given Bufei Yiyang Huatan granules treatment. The course of treatment was 2 months. Clinical effect,lung functions and life quality were compared between two groups. Result: The effective rates of treatment in experience group was much higher than that in control group( 95. 7% vs 82. 4%,P 0.05); after treatment,FVC,FEV1and FEV1/FVC in experience group were superior to control group( P 0. 05); comparison with control group,SF scores in experience group greatly increased( P 0. 05). Conclusion: Bufei Yiyang Huatan granules for stable COPD patients greatly improve the clinical effect and lung functions.
