OBJECTIVE
To observe the clinical efficacy of oral taking of Qingqi Decoction (QQD), a Chinese recipe for nourishing yin to remove pathogenic fire, combined with external applying of Bingpeng Powder (BPP) on recurrent stomatocace (RS).


METHODS
A total of 158 patients with RS in the treated group were treated with the combined therapy, and 120 patients in the control group were treated with Western medicine. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was observed.


RESULTS
Short-term effect: the reduction of ulcerated and congestive area as well as the degree of pain alleviation in the treated group on the 6th day after treatment were more significant than those in the control group respectively. Long-term effect: after treatment, the cure rate was 11.4% (18/158), the markedly effective rate 53.2% (84/158), the effective rate 32.2% (51/158) , and the total effective rate 96.8% in the treated group, while the corresponding rates in the control group were 0, 33.3% (40/120), 40.0% (48/120) and 73.3%, respectively, showing significant difference between the two groups (chi2 = 35.09, P<0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
Oral taking QQY combined with external use of BPP can lessen the congestion of mucous membrane around the ulcerated lesion, quickly alleviate the pain and promote the ulcer healing in patients with RS, and it also can significantly prolong the interval of RS recurrence.
