Multi-central Clinical Research into Treating 80 Cases of Chronic Thrombocytopenia with Qi-supplementing and Yin-nourishing Therapy and Western Medicine

Objective To probe the effects of qi -supplementing and yin -nourishing therapy (blood-increasing decoction and blood generating powder) on chronic thrombocytopenia. Methods Two hundred patients with chronic thrombocytopenia were randomly divided into control ( n =100) and test groups ( n = 100) with Amino-polypeptide as a basic treatment for both. Test group patients consumed a blood-increasing decoction and blood-generating powder for 1–3 months. Improvements in platelet counts and TCM syndrome were observed. Results One hundred and sixty-four (80 in the test group and 84 in the control group) of 189 total participants were treated for 3 months. The total effective rate in improving TCM syndrome was 95.00% in the test group and 79.76% in the control group ( P P P P P Conclusion After a 3-month treatment of chronic thrombocytopenia patients with qi -supplementing and yin -nourishing therapy, TCM syndrome was improved and platelet counts increased with no obvious side effects, and the quality of life of the participants was enhanced with noticeable long-term curative effects.
