Traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating glossopharyngeal neuralgia

Abstract

The invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating glossopharyngeal neuralgia. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared from the following raw materials: stephania japonica, cordyceps sobolifera, salvia bowleyana, local achyranthes aspera, crinum latifolium, citron, flos mume, scabiosa tschiliensis grun-ning, rhizoma typhonii and nidus vespae. A clinical experiment proves that the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating glossopharyngeal neuralgia disclosed by the invention is definite in curative effect on glossopharyngeal neuralgia, simple, feasible, free of a side effect, and high in compliance of patients; and the operability is reduced. 30 cases are treated by the traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating glossopharyngeal neuralgia; VASs (visual analogue scales) of the patients before treatment are 8.52+ / -1.72; after treatment for three weeks, the VASs of the patients are 2.61+ / -1.25; and the difference has statistical significance (P is smaller than 0.01).

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The main therapeutic drugs are carbamazepine, phenytoin, etc., but there are many side effects; nerve block, damage and surgical treatment are relatively traumatic, which is difficult for patients to accept

Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of pain diseases, but there are few high-quality literatures on the treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to explore the pathogenesis of glossopharyngeal neuralgia and to develop alternative drugs for the treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia.
