Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy of the Bianlian method combined with comprehensive external treatment in patients with lower extremity erysipelas in the GU's surgery. Methods 60 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were statistically analyzed. The control group was treated with comprehensive external therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, while the treatment group was treated with the Bianlian method in addition to the treatment of the control group. The clinical data of the two groups, including the effective rate, the area of erythema, and the circumference of swelling, were observed and analyzed. Results The recovery rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (66.7% vs 30.0%), and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). Both groups could reduce the area of erythema in patients, and the treatment group had a better therapeutic effect than the control group (P <0.01). Both groups could improve the local and systemic symptoms of patients with lower extremity erysipelas (P <0.05), and the treatment group had a better improvement ability than the control group (P <0.01). No adverse reactions occurred in either group. Conclusion The Bianlian method combined with comprehensive external therapy in the GU's surgery can better improve the local and systemic symptoms of patients with lower extremity erysipelas, with more significant efficacy and high safety. It can be further studied and promoted as a traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan for lower extremity erysipelas.
