Filter by:The primary objective of this clinical trial is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the Buyuan Zhixiao Formula in treating elderly patients with diabetes and multiple metabolic disorders exhibiting symptoms of renal deficiency and blood stasis. Furthermore, this study aims to intervene in high-risk factors to prevent arteriosclerosis and to investigate the clinical efficacy of the Buyuan Zhixiao Formula in the prevention and treatment of cognitive impairments. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the clinical effects of Buyuan Zhixiao Formula, including lowering blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, lowering lipids, and treating obesity? 2. Can Buyuan Zhixiao Formula improve cognitive impairment in diabetes? Researchers compared Buyuan Zhixiao Formula with a placebo (a drug that looks similar but contains only 10% of the active ingredients) to see if the drug Buyuan Zhixiao Formula can treat elderly people with diabetes and multiple metabolic disorders. Participants will: 1. Take the drug Bu Yuan Zhi XiaoFormula or placebo every day for 6 months；Follow-up for 6 months； 2. Check fasting blood sugar and 2-hour postprandial blood sugar every month; check HbA1c, blood lipids, vascular function, and cognitive impairment serum markers every 3 months; 3. Conduct scores on TCM symptoms, cognitive ability, nutritional status and other scales and adverse events; 4. Urine and serum samples were collected before and after treatment;
Background: Heart failure is the severe and terminal stage of various heart diseases, which is characterized by high morbidity, mortality and readmission. There are few studies on the relationship between XinKang-I(XK-I) and chronic heart failure. Objective: To explore the relationship between XK-I and chronic heart failure. Methods/design: The trial is a single-center, single-blind, randomized study (1:1). It will recruit 110 patients with chronic heart failure who syndrome of qi deficiency yang deficiency and blood stasis. The intervention group will receive not only Western medicine, but also XK-I. The primary end points will be the changes in oxygen consumption volume of anaerobic threshold (VO2AT), maximum oxygen volume uptake (VO2max), and 6-minute walking distance after 8 weeks of treatment. Both groups will receive 8 weeks of treatment. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval was granted by Ethics Committee of Dongguan TCM Hospital. Results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications and presentations at international conferences.
A study on the prediction model of carotid unstable plaque protein and its early intervention. Protein antibody chip was used to detect the remaining biological samples, and patients with carotid artery unstable plaque with stroke risk were selected for interventional clinical trials. The selected patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, which were treated with Zhu's Wenban Formula (TCM compound granules), Qushi Formula (TCM compound granules) and placebo for 6 months, respectively. The size and number of carotid artery unstable plaques before and after 6 months were observed, and the occurrence of adverse reactions during the intervention period was observed.
This study is a prospective randomized case-control study. Six hundred patients who were firstly diagnosed as Helicobacter pylori infection will be selected, and then randomly assigned into case group and control group. Patients in control group take bismuth quadruplicate for 14 days. Patients in case group take Ban xia xie xin Decoction and bismuth agent quadruple for 14 days. Exhalation test or stool Helicobacter pylori antigen detection were used to assess the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori 30 days (the 45th day) after treatment; Adverse reactions were evaluated on the first day (15th day) and the 30th day (45th day) after treatment. The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori and the adverse drug reactions during the medication will be evaluated. The effect of Ban xia xie xin Decoction and bismuth quadruple based on furazolidone on the eradication of helicobacter pylori infection will be explored.
To explore the correlation between gene mutations of metastatic colorectal cancer and TCM syndrome types based on Second-generation sequencing technology.
The purpose of this research is to use the "Removing Blood Stasis Decotion" of traditional Chinese medicine treating the acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage with stroke associated pneumonia to explore the impact of "Removing Blood Stasis Therapy" on intestinal microbial flora either within the time window from 6 to 72 hours onset.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic airway disease which confers significant healthcare burden, with limited therapeutic approaches. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, congenital insufficiency of the lung, spleen and kidney, when coupled with external injury or mood impairment, may collectively contribute to bronchiectasis pathogenesis due to heat trapping in the phlems, congestion of wind evils and stagnation of blood. Here, the investigators will explore the Lung Dispersing, Turbid Descending and Gut Clearing Decoction (LTGD) which targets at expelling the wind evil in patients with bronchiectasis. The investigators sought to conduct a multicenter, randomized cross-over trial which investigates the efficacy and safety of LTGD on clinically stable bronchiectasis.
Although patients of colorectal cancer use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal therapy extensively in China, no strong evidence exists to demonstrate the safety and survival outcomes of TCM herbal therapy combined with conventional western medicine for treatment of this disease. The purpose of this multi-center perspective cohort study is to evaluate the relationship between TCM herbal therapy and survival outcomes in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
At a time when there is so much focus in the United States on reducing the cost of health care delivery while maximizing the effectiveness of health care performance, Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbal treatment, and accessory techniques) offers decision makers a tantalizing option. Traditional Chinese Medicine differs from its biomedical counterpart in that it is highly portable, inexpensive to administer, relies on a conversational diagnostic inquiry system to arrive at differential diagnosis for its patients, and has very few reported side effects associated with treatment. The World Health Organization cites acupuncture has a proven and effective treatment for 28 diseases/disorders including stroke, pain management issues and rheumatoid arthritis; the WHO lists another over 65 diseases for which the therapeutic effect of acupuncture has been shown but for which further proof is needed including alcohol dependence, cancer pain and diabetes mellitus. With the completion of this pragmatic clinical trial and introduction of the Constant Care method of health care delivery to underserved communities on Chicago's south side, the investigators can both utilize an effective plan of health care delivery, advance the research needed to effectively utilize Traditional Chinese Medicine as a low cost therapeutic option in this country, and successfully treat disenfranchised populations that have been traditionally overlooked and that deserve a better health and wellness care future.
