    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacies of Chinese composite Yanting Decoction medicated via two different paths (via oral and via retention enema) in treating chronic pelvic inflammation. METHODS: Adopting the randomized multicentered parallel contrast principle, 93 patients were assigned to the retention enema (RE) group (47 cases) and the oral medicated (OM) group (46 cases) at random, Yanting Decoction was administered via respective paths for 10 days as one course. The changes of syndromes (qi-stagnance and blood stasis) and local signs were observed before and after treatment. RESULTS: In the 47 patients of the RE group, 3 were cured, the treatment was markedly effective in 20, effective in 22 and ineffective in 2, the total effective rate being 95.7%; while in the 46 patients of the OM group, the corresponding number were 1, 8, 30, 7 and 84.8%, respectively, the difference of the total effective rate between groups was statistically significant (P <0.05). The total effective rate for TCM syndromes in the RE and the OM group was 95.7% (45/47) and 82.6% (38/46) respectively, and that for local signs, 97.9% (46/47) and 84.8% (39/46) respectively, the improvements in the RE group were better than those in the OM group (P <0.05). CONCLUSION: Chinese preparation Yanting Decoction shows good clinical efficacy in treating chronic pelvic inflammation of qi-stagnant blood-stasis type, the effect could be enhanced by medicating via retention enema than that via oral.
