[Clinical observation on treatment of non-gonococcal cervicitis by integrative medicine].
OBJECTIVE
To explore the integrative medicinal therapy for non-gonococcal cervicitis (NGC) in order to elevate the therapeutic effect for patients treated in vain after long-term application of antibiotics.


METHODS
Fifty patients with NGC were treated with Qingyuan decoction combined with antibiotics, and other 46 patients were treated with antibiotics alone for control.


RESULTS
The cure rate and significant effective rate was 90.0% (45/50) and 65.2% (30/46) in the treated group and the control group, it was significantly different between the two groups (chi2 = 9.58, P < 0.01). The disappearance rate of symptom was 88.1% and 41.4% in the two group after treated for two weeks respectively, and it was also significantly different (chi2 = 12.42, P < 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
The therapeutic effect of NGC treated by sensitive antibiotics combined with Qingyuan decoction is better than that treated with western medicine only.
