摘要
To observe the clinical efficacy of pediatric Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) plus Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets for infectious diarrhea in children.
MethodsA total of 55 children with rotavirus infectious diarrhea who received pediatric Tuina and Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets were included in the combination group. A total of 43 children with rotavirus infectious diarrhea who received Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets during the same period were included as the control group. In addition, both groups were treated with routine oral rehydration salts III and montmorillonite powder. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups after 1 week of treatment. Changes in clinical manifestations, immune function indicators, and inflammatory factor levels before and after treatment were collected and compared between the two groups. At the same time, the adverse reactions and satisfaction of the parents were recorded and compared between the two groups.
ResultsThe total effective rate of the combination group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the defecation frequency, stool trait score, and levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 decreased in both groups (P<0.05). And these indicators in the combination group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The remission time of fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting in the combination group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in both groups increased (P<0.05), and the levels in the combination group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The satisfaction level of parents in the combination group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant adverse reactions in either group.
ConclusionBased on routine treatment, the additional pediatric Tuina plus Saccharomyces Boulardii sachets treatment has valid efficacy in the treatment of infectious diarrhea in children, helpful to improve clinical symptoms, immune function, and inflammatory reactions, with good safety. The children’s parents are satisfied with the treatment results.
