目的:探究“针-药-模”结合治疗粉刺病肺胃热蕴证的临床效果。方法:收集2020年10月—2022年9月上海市嘉定区中医医院皮肤科门诊收治的粉刺病肺胃热蕴证患者150例,根据随机数字表法将其分为针-药-模治疗组(桑枇消痤颗粒+毫火针+石膏倒模...目的:探究“针-药-模”结合治疗粉刺病肺胃热蕴证的临床效果。方法:收集2020年10月—2022年9月上海市嘉定区中医医院皮肤科门诊收治的粉刺病肺胃热蕴证患者150例,根据随机数字表法将其分为针-药-模治疗组(桑枇消痤颗粒+毫火针+石膏倒模)、针-药对照组(桑枇消痤颗粒+毫火针)、药-模对照组(桑枇消痤颗粒+石膏倒模),每组50例,均每周治疗1次,持续治疗4周。观察3组患者的临床疗效,比较3组治疗前后皮疹情况及生活质量[皮肤病生活质量指数量表(dermatology quality of life index,DLQI)],统计不良反应发生情况与复发率。结果:治疗4周后,针-药-模治疗组临床有效率高于针-药对照组、药-模对照组,差异有统计学意义;针-药对照组与药-模对照组比较,差异无统计学意义。3组患者皮疹情况评分、DLQI评分与治疗前比较均降低,且针-药-模治疗组低于针-药对照组及药-模对照组,差异有统计学意义;针-药对照组与药-模对照组比较,差异无统计学意义。治疗期间,3组患者不良反应发生情况比较,差异无统计学意义;结束治疗后2个月,针-药-模治疗组复发率低于针-药对照组、药-模对照组,差异有统计学意义;针-药对照组与药-模对照组比较,差异无统计学意义。结论:与“药-模”及“针-药”治疗相比,“针-药-模”相结合的综合治疗方法在粉刺病肺胃热蕴证的治疗中临床疗效更为显著,有效改善患者皮疹情况,提高生活质量,减少复发,安全性可靠。展开更多
