Abstract:
In this study of long term curative effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in remission stage treated with TCM, we have selected 79 patients from January 2013 to January 2015 in our hospital with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as the research object, we have divided into observation group (40 cases) and control group (39 cases) randomly, the control group received routine treatment, observation group received TCM pulmonary rehabilitation therapy, compare pulmonary function and clinical curative effect of 2 groups of patients, and dyspnea index (Brog index), blood oxygen saturation after 6 and 12 months' treatment. The lung function of the observation group was better than that of control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05). The effective rate of observation group was 97.50%, which was better than that of control group (84.62%), the difference was significant (P<0.05). Brog score, blood oxygen saturation of 2 groups of patients before treatment was not statistically significant (P>0.05); observation group's Brog scores after 6 and12 months' treatment were (2.96 + 0.87), (1.61 + 0.49), oxygen saturation were 94%, 99%, the control group's Brog scores were (4.65 + 0.54), (2.97 + 0.91), oxygen saturation were 86%, 93%, the observation group's indicators were better than that of control group after treatment, the difference was significant (P<0.05). TCM lung rehabilitation treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has obvious curative effect, it can improve the function of lung, reduce the occurrence of dyspnea, improve patients' tolerance and have obvious long-term curative effect.
