Preliminary Study On The Intervention Effect Of TCM Health Management On Children With Chronic Cough Due To Qi-Deficient Constitution

Objective:Under the guidance of TCM"preventive treatment of disease",TCM health management is carried out for children with chronic cough due to Qi-deficient constitution,which provides the basis for improving the clinical efficacy and individual co mpliance.Methods:70 children with chronic cough due to Qi-deficient const itution who met the need of this study were selected for TCM health management by using the method of self-contrast.Through informat ion collection and the result of TCM four diagnoses,the disease risk was assessed,then the corresponding health management plans of TCM were formulated（Including diet,living,sports,mass age,herbal tea and foot bath）,and health education was regularly carried out for the guardians of children.During the management period,fo llow-up persistently,evaluate the effect of intervention and opt imize continuously.Management time was 4 months,the fo llow-up period was 1 year,and clinical efficacy was observed before management,after the 4^thmonth,the 8^thmonth,and the 12^thmonth.In the last two fo llow-up visits,the number of children who could have a reasonable diet,adequate exercise and regular work and rest was increased or decreased compared with that after the 4^thmonth.Result:Two cases dropped out during management,and 68 children participated in this study.The results showed that:（1）Through TCM health management,at different time points(after the 4^thmonth,the8^thmonth,and the 12^thmonth),The scores of each clinical manifestat ion of Qi-deficient const itution were lower than those before management（P<0.01）,and the lowest point after the 12^thmonth;The total score of clinical sympto ms of children with Qi-deficient constitution was significant ly lower than before management（P<0.01）,and the lowest po ints after the 12^thmonth;After the 12^thmonth,the effect ive rate of physical improvement was 100%.（2）Through TCM health management,at different time points(after the 4^thmonth,the8^thmonth,and the 12^thmonth),the scores of each clinical manifestation of chronic cough were lower than those before management（P<0.05）,and the lowest point after the 12^thmonth;The total effective rate of TCM syndromes o f chronic cough was higher than that of the former（P<0.01）,and after the 12^thmonth,the total effect ive rate of chronic cough improvement was 95.59%.（3）After the 8^thand the 12^thmonth,the number of children who can eat reasonably,exercise adequately and work and rest regularly increased compared with that after the4^thmonth,and the 12^thmonth was the largest.Conclusion:（1）TCM health management has a good effect on children with chronic cough due to Qi-deficient const itution.It can improve the constitution of Qi-deficient and effectively prevent and control cough attack,reduce the number of coughs.（2）Through TCM health management,guardians can grasp the prevention key points of chronic cough due to Qi-deficient constitution,form correct child maintenance concept,and further improve their compliance and health literacy.（3）TCM health management intervention for children with chronic cough due to Qi-deficient const itution has better long-term effect.
