Efficacy and Safety Study of Qirui Weishu Capsule in Treating Chronic Gastritis with Abdominal Pain Symptoms
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qirui Weishu Capsule as monotherapy for chronic gastritis with abdominal pain, providing evidence-based support for clinical application. Methods: A prospective real-world study (January to November 2024) enrolled 60 patients with chronic gastritis and abdominal pain (NRS ≥ 4). Participants received Qirui Weishu Capsule (4 capsules/dose, twice daily before meals). Efficacy was assessed using NRS pain scores, the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI), and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS). Results: Treatment significantly improved gastrointestinal quality of life (GIQLI) and reduced symptom severity (GSRS). Pain/discomfort (NRS) showed sustained relief within 2–4 weeks, with an average pain-relief onset time of 6.67±1.53 days. The pain improvement efficacy rate reached 96% (P < 0.05). Safety: No adverse reactions (e.g., hepatic/kidney impairment, coagulation abnormalities) were observed. Conclusion: Qirui Weishu Capsule rapidly alleviates abdominal pain (within 2–4 weeks), significantly enhances quality of life, and demonstrates favorable safety, making it a preferred treatment for chronic gastritis with abdominal pain.
