Clinical observation on the therapeutic effects of Coptidis Toxin-Resolving greasy ribbon gauze on intractable epistaxis

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of Coptidis Toxin-Resolving Greasy Ribbon Gauze(CTRGRG) on intractable epistaxis.Methods Ninety-three cases with intractable epistaxis were randomly divided into 2 groups,with 61 in treating (group(TG)) and 32 in controlling one(CG).The cases in TG were treated with CTRGRG in the way of nasal packing.supplemented by generally using of such expectant treatment with hemostats, antibiotics, sedatives, nutrients and supporting therapy. while those in CG were treated only by the routine expectant treatment as used in TG.Results All the cases in TG were cured following such a therapy lasted for only 4 to 7 days.In contrast.the ones in CG were cured following a therapy lasted for 5 to 13 days.There was a significant difference in the curing period between the two groups(P0.01). Conclusions The therapy supplemented with CTRGRG can significantly shorten the healing period of wound in nasal mucosa and it can be used with less irritability to nasal mucosa.Therefore.it is valuable to promote this therapy into clinical practice.
