[Abstract]
Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the modified Yiqi Tongmi Formula in treating patients with functional constipation of qi deficiency type. Methods Seventy-two patients with functional constipation of qi deficiency type, who presented at Dongguan Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine between November 2022 and December 2023, were enrolled as study subjects. They were randomly assigned into a treatment group and a control group (n=36 cases) according to a random number table method. The treatment group received the modified Yiqi Tongmi Formula, while the control group received lactulose oral solution. The treatment course was 4 weeks, followed by a 4-week follow-up period. Changes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) scores,and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) scores were observed before and after treatment. The overall clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups,and recurrence rates were also assessed. Results(1) Drop-out: a total of 4 patients dropped out during the study (1 lost to follow up and 1 due to protocol violation in the treatment group;2 due to protocol violation in the control group). Ultimately, 68 patients completed the clinical study,with 34 cases in each group.(2) Therapeutic effect:after 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate was 91.18% (31/34) in the treatment group and 70.59% (24/34) in the control group. Intergroup comparison (by Mann-Whitney U test) indicated that the overall efficacy of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).(3)Relevant scale scores:after treatment,both groups showed significant reductions in TCM syndrome scores,PAC-SYM scores,and PAC-QOL scores compared to those before treatment (P<0.01). Furthermore,the reduction in TCM syndrome scores,PAC-SYM scores,and PAC-QOL scores was significantly greater in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).(4) Recurrence rate:among the effective cases,28 in the treatment group were followed up with a recurrence rate of 17.86% (5/28),while 22 in the control group were followed up with a recurrence rate of 45.45% (10/22). Intergroup comparison (by chi-square test) revealed that the recurrence rate in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).(5)Safety:no adverse drug reactions or adverse events occurred in either group during the study period. Vital signs and relevant safety indicators showed no significant abnormalities before and after treatment. Conclusion The modified Yiqi Tongmi Formula helps improve clinical symptoms and quality of life in patients with functional constipation of qi deficiency type. It demonstrates a sustained-efficacy advantage, effectively reduces the recurrence rate, and is safe and reliable.
