Clinical Efficacy Observation of Jing Ethnic Group’s Self-Proposed Formula Combined with Burning Mugwort on Patients after Cholecystectomy for Gallstones

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of the Jing ethnic group’s self-proposed formula combined with burning mugwort on patients after cholecystectomy for gallstones. Methods: Sixty-four patients with gallstones who received inpatient treatment at the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of Fangchenggang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from November 2022 to November 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group. The treatment group was treated with the Jing ethnic group’s self-proposed formula combined with burning mugwort, while the control group was treated with ursodeoxycholic acid tablets. The liver function indicators, therapeutic effect, safety evaluation, and quality of life of the two groups were compared. Results: After treatment, compared with the control group, the ALT, AST, and TBIL levels of the treatment group changed, but the differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Within-group comparisons showed that the ALT, AST, and TBIL levels of the observation group significantly decreased after treatment, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.001). The same trend was observed in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.001). The overall effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). During the treatment process and follow-up period, there were no statistically significant differences in adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, compared with the control group, the scores for psychological, physiological, social-cultural, and environmental aspects of the treatment group increased significantly, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Within-group comparisons showed that the scores for psychological, physiological, social-cultural, and environmental aspects of the observation group increased significantly after treatment, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.001). The same trend was observed in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The Jing ethnic group’s self-proposed formula combined with burning mugwort can improve the therapeutic effect and quality of life of patients after cholecystectomy for gallstones without causing adverse reactions.
