[Therapeutic effect of hewei xiaopi capsule for treatment of dyskinesis functional dyspepsia].
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of Hewei Xiaopi Capsule (HXC) in treating patients with dyskinesis functional dyspepsia (FD).


METHODS
Sixty-three patients with FD were randomly assigned to two groups, 33 in the treated group and 30 in the control group, who were treated respectively with HXC and domperidone for 4 weeks to observe the clinical effect and changes in electrogastrogram (EGG) before and after treatment.


RESULTS
Symptoms were alleviated in both groups after treatment, 3 patients in the treated group were cured, the efficacy was judged as markedly effective in 11, effective in 14 and ineffective in 5, while in the control group, 1 cured, 8 markedly effective, 14 effective and 7 ineffective, difference between the two groups showed no statistical significance. EGG showed that in the treated group, the normal slow-wave percentage was 41.93 +/- 18.22 before treatment and 50.86 +/- 16.03 after treatment, showing significant difference (P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
