The two groups of patients were treated for 8 weeks, and the changes of serum inflammatory factor levels, colonoscopy scores and clinical effects of TCM syndromes before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: 1. Overall clinical efficacy evaluation: both the treatment group and the control group could improve the clinical symptoms of ulcerative colitis, and the therapeutic effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group, with statistical significance. 2. The contents of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-13 in 2 groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment, and the decrease degree of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). 3. The colonoscopy scores of both groups were lower than before treatment, and the score of the treatment group after treatment was significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). 4. Comparison of the scores of various symptoms between the two groups: After treatment, the scores of diarrhea, mucoid pus and blood stool, abdominal pain, constipation, anal swelling and anal burning in the two groups were all lower than before (P < 0.05), indicating that the treatment in both groups could effectively improve the symptoms of patients. 5.
