Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Western Medicine Disease Efficacy: Using the Western medicine primary symptom grading and quantification standards, the four main symptoms are graded and scored, with each symptom corresponding to a score of 0-3. Assessments are conducted at the screening period, baseline, and on days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56, with a focus on evaluating the efficacy based on the scores at day 28. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Syndrome Efficacy: Using the TCM syndrome grading and quantification standards, patients with syndromes such as Liver-Stomach Disharmony, Spleen-Stomach Dampness-Heat, and Food Retention are scored based on their symptoms. Assessments are conducted at the screening period, baseline, and on days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 56, with a focus on evaluating the efficacy based on the scores at day 28. 2. Gastric Emptying Time: The barium strip method is used to measure the gastric emptying rate at 3.5 hours. Observations and recordings are conducted once before medication (baseline) and once after 28 days of medication. 3. Changes in Tongue and Pulse Manifestations: A comprehensive inquiry and physical examination are conducted to observe changes in tongue and pulse before, during, and after treatment. Tongue manifestations are primarily assessed through visual inspection, observing the color of the tongue body and the condition of the tongue coating. Pulse manifestations are primarily assessed through palpation, where the patient's pulse is evaluated to determine its characteristics. | — |
