Observation on the clinical effect of integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment on childhood tic disorder
中医综合治疗对儿童抽动障碍的临床效果观察

摘要

目的 讨论及研究中医综合治疗儿童抽动障碍的临床效果。方法 选择我院在2024年5月份至2025年5月份收治的60例患儿进行研究，随机平衡法分成对照组（30例门诊患儿）和实验组（30例住院患儿），每组30例，对照组为西药治疗，实验组中医综合治疗，对比两组患儿治疗前后的中医证候积分；依据耶鲁综合症严重程度检查量表评估患儿的严重程度。结果 干预后，实验组患儿中医证候积分更佳，p<0.05，对比严重程度评分，实验组低于对照组，p<0.05，分析病程严重程度，实验组低于对照组，p<0.05。结论 对儿童抽动障碍患儿提供中医综合治疗，可以提升治疗效果，改善其临床症状，减轻严重程度，值得提倡。

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy in treating childhood tic disorders.
Methods A total of 60 pediatric patients admitted to our hospital between May 2024 and May 2025 were enrolled in this study. Using randomized balanced design, participants were divided into a control group (30 outpatients) and an experimental group (30 inpatients), each comprising 30 cases. The control group received Western medicine treatment, while the experimental group underwent TCM-based comprehensive therapy. Comparative analysis was conducted on TCM syndrome scores before and after treatment, with severity assessed using the Yale Tic Severity Scale.
Results Post-intervention analysis revealed significantly improved TCM syndrome scores in the experimental group (p<0.05). Severity scores showed statistically significant differences favoring the experimental group (p<0.05), and disease progression severity demonstrated comparable outcomes between groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion   Integrated TCM therapy provides enhanced therapeutic benefits for pediatric tic disorder patients, effectively alleviating clinical symptoms and reducing severity levels. This approach merits clinical promotion.
