Efficacy observation on pediatric tuina plus Chinese medicine for exogenous fever in children

Abstract

Objective

To observe the clinical effects of pediatric tuina plus Chinese medicine for exogenous fever in children.

Methods

A total of 150 children with exogenous fever were randomly divided based on the random digital table into a control group (75 cases) and a treatment group (75 cases). The control group was treated with oral Xiao’er Chaigui Tuire Keli (<1 year old, 0.5 bag/time; 1–3 years old, 1 bag/time; 4–6 years old, 1.5 bags/time), 4 times/day. The treatment group was treated with pediatric tuina plus the intervention of the control group. The amount and usage of Chinese medicine were the same as those of the control group; tuina was conducted 1 time/day. The clinical effects and adverse reactions were observed after 3 d of treatment in both groups. The recurrence was observed within 7 d after the end of treatment.

Results

The total effective rate was 92.0% in the treatment group and 81.3% in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in the two groups after treatment. The recurrence rate was 1.5% in the treatment group and 13.1% in the control group. The difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Pediatric tuina plus Chinese medicine is effective in treating children with exogenous fever.

摘要

目的

观察小儿推拿结合中药治疗儿童外感发热的临床疗效。

方法

将150例外感发热患儿按随机数字表法分为对照组和治疗组, 每组75例. 对照组采用口服小儿柴桂退热颗粒治疗(1岁以内, 0.5袋/次; 1–3岁, 1袋/次;4–6岁, 1.5袋/次), 4次/日. 治疗组在对照组用药基础上加用小儿推拿治疗。 中药用量、用法同对照组; 推拿1次/日. 两组均治疗3 d后进行疗效判定及不良反应情况观察, 治疗结束后7 d内观察复发情况。

结果

治疗组总有效率为92.0%, 对照组总有效率为81.3%, 组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05). 治疗后两组均未出现明显的不良反应. 治疗组复发率1.5%, 对照组复发率13.1%, 两组复发率差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。

结论

小儿推拿结合中药治疗儿童外感发热疗效确切。
