Clinical efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy combined with pinaverium bromide tablets on irritable bowel syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy combined with pinaverium bromide tablets in admitted patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). METHODS: This is a retrospective study. A total of 60 patients with IBS admitted to Beijing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine between June 2021 and June 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group were treated with pinaverium bromide tablets, and those in the observation group were treated with cognitive behavior therapy combined with pinaverium bromide tablets. The improvement of clinical symptoms and quality of life before and after treatment was compared for the two groups, IBS-SSS scale and IBS-QOL scale were used to compare the improvement of clinical symptoms and quality of life between the two groups of patients before and after treatment. SAS score and SDS score were used to evaluate the psychology of the two groups. Adverse reactions occurring during the treatment were recorded, such as nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache, etc. RESULTS: The efficacy of the observation group was higher than that of the control group and the difference was significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the IBS-SSS score in the observation group and the control group decreased and the IBS-QOL score increased. The SDS score and SAS score in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P< 0.05). After treatment, there was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Cognitive behavioral therapy combined with pinaverium bromide tablets is significantly effective in the treatment of patients with IBS, which can effectively relieve symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, and reduce irritable bowel reactions.
