TCM Treatment for 63 Cases of Senile Dyssomnia

In order to study the therapeutic effects of the TCM drugs on senile dyssomnia, 121 such patients were randomly divided into a treatment group of 63 cases (given the TCM drugs) and a control group of 58 cases (given estazolam). The changes shown in the SDRS and HAMA scores and the other indexes were observed in both of the two groups to evaluate the therapeutic effects. The results showed that the effective rate was 76.3% in the treatment group, and it was 69.1% in the control group; and that the TCM drugs had better effects in improving such symptoms as lethargy, dry mouth, and rebound of insomnia. Therefore, it can be concluded that the effect of the TCM drugs is better for senile dyssomnia than that of the Western drug estazolam.

The Therapeutic Effects of the Radiotherapy Plus TCM Treatment Observed in Senile Non-Parvicellular Lung Cancer Patients at the Late Stage

47 senile non-parvicellular lung cancer patients at stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ were randomly divided into a treatment group (26 cases) treated by radiotherapy plus traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and a control group (21 cases) treated only by radiotherapy for observation of the therapeutic effects.The patients in the treatment group orally took Chinese medicine during and after the radiotherapy.There was no obvious difference in short-term therapeutic effects between the two groups,but the long-term curative effects in the treatment group was obviously superior to that in the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:radiotherapy plus TCM can prolong the survival period for senile non-parvicellular lung cancer patients.
