Effect of treatment of rosacea in females by Chibixiao Recipe (赤鼻消方) in combination with minocycline and spironolactone
摘要
To observe the clinical efficacy of Chibixiao Recipe (赤鼻消方
CBX) in combination with minocycline and spironolactone in treating rosacea in females. Sixty-eight women with rosacea were randomly assigned to the treated group (48 cases) and the control group (20 cases)
both of which were treated with minocycline and spironolactone taken orally
but to the treated group
the Chinese herbal recipe
CBX was given additionally. Besides
cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen was applied to those with apparent capillary dilatation. The therapeutic course for both groups was 8 weeks. The levels of serum testosterone before and after treatment were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA)
and a 4-month follow-up was conducted. In the treated group the cure-markedly effective rate was 87.5% and the recurrent rate was 6.5%
while in the control group
they were 45.0% and 41.2% respectively. Comparisons in the indexes between the two groups all showed significant difference (both P<0.01)
with the cure-markedly effective rate higher
and the recurrent rate lower in the treated group. The serum level of testosterone got lowered in both groups (P<0.05 and P<0.01)
but the lowering in the treated group was more significant
showing significance when compared with that in the control group (P<0.01). CBX in combination with Western medicine has effect in treating rosacea superior to that of Western medicine alone
and could effectively reduce recurrent rate and the serum level of testosterone.
