Objective: To analyze the effect of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with abdominal massage in the treatment of constipation due to spleen deficiency and qi depression. Methods: From July 2024 to June 2025, 82 patients with constipation due to spleen deficiency and qi depression were selected for data research in our hospital. They were divided into groups using the random number table method, with 41 cases in each group. The experimental group was treated with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with abdominal massage, and the control group was treated with abdominal massage. The data differences between the groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the TCM syndrome scores of the experimental group were significantly lower after treatment, the total effective rate of treatment was significantly higher, the recurrence rate was significantly lower, the number of spontaneous complete defecation times per week after treatment was significantly more, the CCS score was significantly lower after treatment, and the BSFS score was significantly higher after treatment, P < 0.05. Comparing the TCM syndrome scores, spontaneous complete defecation times per week, CCS scores, and BSFS scores before treatment between the two groups, P > 0.05. Conclusion: The application of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with abdominal massage to treat constipation due to spleen deficiency and qi depression has an ideal effect.
