[Clinical study on treatment of chronic superficial gastritis with jinghua weikang capsule].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Jinghua Weikang Capsule (JWC) on chronic gastritis (CG).


METHODS
Ninety patients with CG were randomly divided into 3 groups: the control group treated with domperidone 10 mg, 3 times per day orally, the high and low-dose JWC groups treated with JWC 160 mg and 80 mg respectively 3 times per day. The therapeutic course for all groups was 14 days. Dyspeptic symptom score, gastric emptying rate and quality of life (QOL) in patients were observed.


RESULTS
Dyspeptic symptom score was 19.97 +/- 1.85 and 24.40 +/- 1.85 after treatment in high and low-dose JWC groups respectively, lower than that before treatment (28.33 +/- 1.88 and 27.70 +/- 1.68, P <0.05); QOL improved obviously in all the three groups, among which the high-dose JWC group showed the best effect. The adverse reaction of JWC was very mild.


CONCLUSIONS
JWC is an effective and safe drug for alleviating dyspeptic symptoms in patients with CG, its effect is more evident when high dose is applied.
