Clinical Efficacy of Modified Guizhi Decoction in Treating Wind-Cold Common Cold
Objective: To verify the clinical efficacy of modified Guizhi Decoction in treating wind-cold common cold. Methods: A total of 60 patients with wind-cold common cold were selected and divided into two groups: an observation group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases). The observation group was treated with modified Guizhi Decoction, while the control group received conventional treatment. Indicators such as gender, age, disease course, severity of illness before and after treatment, and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results: Before treatment, there were no significant differences in gender, age, or disease course between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05). The severity of illness was similar between the two groups before treatment, mainly concentrated in grades III to IV. After treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was 96.67%, significantly higher than the 70.00% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The cure-markedly effective rate in the observation group was also significantly higher than that in the control group (23.33% vs. 6.67%). Conclusion: Modified Guizhi Decoction has good clinical efficacy in treating wind-cold common cold, significantly improving patient cure rates and improvement rates. Its widespread clinical application is recommended.
