中医药治疗小儿功能性便秘的临床应用效果分析

摘要

目的 分析中医药治疗小儿功能性便秘的临床应用效果。方法 以我院2024年6月-2024年12月收治的80例小儿功能性便秘患儿为研究对象，随机分为观察组（中医药治疗）和对照组（常规西医治疗），各40例。比较两组排便情况及中医证候积分，统计两组不良反应发生情况。结果 观察组排便间隔时间、排便费力消失时间均短于对照组[（1.50±0.37）d、（4.50±1.06）d vs（3.22±0.48）d、（7.21±1.55）d]，中医证候积分低于对照组（8.50±2.49）分vs（15.06±3.17）分，差异显著（P<0.05）。观察组不良反应发生率低于对照组（P<0.05）。结论 中医药治疗能有效改善功能性便秘患儿的排便情况，缓解患儿的临床症状，且不良反应少，建议推广与使用。

Abstract

Objective To analyze the clinical application effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating pediatric functional constipation.
Methods A total of 80 children with functional constipation admitted to our hospital from June 2024 to December 2024 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into an observation group (treated with traditional Chinese medicine) and a control group (treated with conventional Western medicine), with 40 cases in each group. The defecation conditions and TCM syndrome scores of the two groups were compared, and the occurrence of adverse reactions in the two groups was statistically analyzed.
Results The defecation interval and the disappearance time of defecation effort in the observation group were both shorter than those in the control group [(1.50±0.37) d, (4.50±1.06) d vs (3.22±0.48) d, (7.21±1.55) d]. The TCM syndrome score was lower than that of the control group (8.50±2.49) points vs (15.06±3.17) points, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion   Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can effectively improve the defecation condition of children with functional constipation, relieve their clinical symptoms, and has few adverse reactions. It is recommended for promotion and use.
