Clinical Research On TCM Umbilical Therapy For Acute Diarrhea In Children

Acute diarrhea in children is very common in clinic.It is a kind of disease with high inciden ce in China.Its pathogenesis is caused by many pathogens and many factors.The main clinical s ymptoms are the increase of stool frequency and the change of stool properties.Children's diarrh ea disease seriously affected the growth and development of children,and even lead to death,esp ecially in infants and young children.Western medicine uses antibiotics for the bacterial acute di arrhea in children and has achieved good effect,but for non-bacterial diarrhea,there is no effecti ve treatment yet.Chinese medicine has long history in the treatment of infantile diarrhea and ach ieves significant effect.Our department combines the etiology and pathogenesis of infantile diarr hea,uses the umbilicus therapy dialectically.Through long-term clinical observation,we objectiv ely evaluate the effectiveness,safety and economy of applying umbilical therapy in the treatment of acute diarrhea in children.In clinical research,we collected a total of 183 observed cases.160 cases were matched in which 126 cases of test group and 34 cases in the comparing group.There is no significant difference between the two groups in their age,sex,onset,course of disease,sy mptoms and signs,and the severity of the disease before treatment(P>0.05),it is comparable.Th e test group received the dialectical umbilicus(cold diarrhea,damp heat diarrhea,diarrhea due to improper diet)treatment.The comparing group received Montmorillonite powder,Bifidobacteri um triple viable powder treatment with 5 days for each case.By comparing the two groups of chi Idren with primary and secondary symptoms,signs and other points to improve the situation,to e valuate the treatment of children with acute diarrhea.Result shows that 113 out of 126(89.68%)are recurred in test group,four cases are effective(5.56%),five cases are improvement(3.17%),two cases are no effective(1.59%).21 out of 34(61.76%)are recurred in comparing group,six c ases are effective(17.65%),three cases are improvement(8.82%),four cases are no effective(11.76%).It proves that the test group is better than the comparing group in improving the number o f stools,characters and so on(P<0.05).Cure effective rate of test group(96.83%)is higher than t he comparing(79.41%).The curative effect of the test group was significantly better than that of the comparing group with statistical significance.It is concluded that the treatment of acute diarr hea in children with syndrome differentiation of umbilicus is better than western medicine contro 1 group,and it has high safety and low cost,so it is worthy of clinical application.
