[0065] Control group administration: diet and psychological education as the main, such as 3 times a week, 20 minutes of health lectures each time, the content covers CFS daily management, but no direct treatment intervention.
[0066] Evaluation index: MDASI scale: score range: 0-10 points, the higher the score, the more severe the symptoms or the more severe the interference. Improvement criteria: MDASI symptom score total score decreased by ≥3 points or single item decreased by ≥2 points was considered to have clinically significant improvement.
[0067] The MDASI scale usually contains two parts: symptom severity and symptom interference with life.
[0068] Symptom severity: pain, fatigue (fatigue), nausea, sleep disturbance, distress, shortness of breath, forgetfulness, poor appetite, lethargy, dry mouth, sadness, vomiting, numbness or tingling.
[0069] Patients score each symptom according to the situation in the past 24 hours: use a numerical rating scale of 0-10, 0 points: "no interference", 10 points: "complete interference".
[0070] Symptom interference with life: this part assesses the degree of interference with different aspects of daily life caused by all symptoms superimposed together in the past 24 hours. Patients need to score each item interfered by symptoms (0-10 points). General activity: daily, basic physical activity and self-care activities, mood, work, relationship with others, walking, life enjoyment.
[0071] Results Table 1: Comparison of MDASI scores and effectiveness between treatment group (Example 1) and control group Cognitive fatigue improvement: more focused attention, improved memory, clearer and more agile thinking, physical fatigue improvement: daily energy improved, daily activities easier, muscle weakness reduced, tolerance to activities improved, subjective feeling better.
[0072] As shown in Table 1, the treatment group of Example 1 had a 52.3% and 47.8% reduction in physical fatigue and cognitive fatigue scores compared to the control group, significantly better than the control group (P<0.05).
[0073] In the clinical trial of Comparative Example 1, 30 patients with qi and blood deficiency took the medicine, and the effective rate was only 70% (Example 1 was 93%). 12 patients had dry mouth and abdominal distension (incidence rate was 40%). Excessive use of qi-tonifying herbs caused stagnation of qi movement and obstruction of spleen and stomach transportation. Excessive use of Huangqi and Dangshen disrupted the balance of the prescription, resulting in decreased efficacy and significant side effects.
[0074] In the treatment group of Comparative Example 2, the effective rate of 30 patients was 76%, but 6 menstrual women had excessive menstrual flow (incidence rate was 20%). Excessive use of Dangui and Chuanxiong enhanced the blood-activating effect, but caused rapid blood flow, consumed yin blood, and violated the principle of "supplementing without being too strong". Excessive use of blood-activating herbs may lead to bleeding tendency and reduce safety.
[0075] In the treatment group of Comparative Example 3, among the 30 patients with yang deficiency, the improvement rate of aversion to cold and warm limbs was only 60% (Example 1 was 91%). Insufficient dosage of Guizhi and Shengjiang weakened the effect of warming and unblocking meridians, which could not promote the absorption of tonifying herbs, resulting in "supplementing without moving". Insufficient dosage of yang-warming herbs significantly reduced the targeting of the prescription for yang deficiency syndrome.
[0076] In the treatment group of Comparative Example 4, among the 30 patients with spleen and stomach weakness, the improvement rate of poor appetite and postprandial abdominal distension was 65% (Example 1 was 95%). Insufficient dosage of Jinejin led to weak digestion and stagnation, and tonifying herbs were greasy and hindered the stomach, resulting in decreased appetite in patients. Insufficient dosage of digestion herbs directly affected the absorption efficiency of the whole prescription, weakening the overall efficacy.
[0077] In the treatment group of Comparative Example 5, the MDASI fatigue score decreased by only 28.5% (Example 1 was ≥40%) after 4 weeks of treatment in 30 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, and the total effective rate was 74% (Example 1 was 92%), P<0.01. The deletion of Jinejin digestion and stomach health, and Chenpi regulating qi led to greasy and stomach-hindering tonifying herbs, which increased the incidence of poor appetite and abdominal distension in patients (38% vs 8% in Example 1), affecting the absorption efficiency of the whole prescription.
[0078] In the treatment group of Comparative Example 6, the MDASI fatigue score reduction rate was 32.1% (Example 1≥40%), 16 patients had dry mouth, insomnia (occurrence rate 53%), and the ginseng nature of heat helped fire, breaking the balance of qi and yin. The party's sweet and flat gas and more compatible with chronic fatigue syndrome of qi and yin deficiency pathogenesis; Ginseng warm and heat, exacerbate the symptoms of yin deficiency and fire.
[0079] In the treatment group of Comparative Example 7, the MDASI fatigue score reduction rate was 26.7% (Example 1≥40%), and the aversion to cold and cold limbs improvement rate was 35% (Example 1 89%), because Guizhi warmed the meridians and Yang, and Shengjiang dispelled cold and stomach, and the Yang deficiency syndrome was aggravated after deletion.
[0080] In the treatment group of Comparative Example 8, the MDASI fatigue score reduction rate was 31.2% (Example 1≥40%), and the blood stasis syndrome improvement rate was only 48% (Example 1 86%) for tongue purple dark improvement rate, because Chuanxiong was a "blood gas medicine" and its blood circulation and blood circulation were stronger than Danshen; Danshen was biased to cool blood, which conflicted with the warm and tonic tone of Example 1.
