Objective: To investigate the final clinical effect of Yiqi Yangyin Decoction in the treatment of functional constipation. Methods: The main subjects of the survey were 120 patients with functional constipation who were included and screened in the Department of Gastroenterology of our hospital from March 2020 to March 2021. During the investigation, the patients were randomly divided into two groups in a 1: 1 manner, i.e., the control group and the experimental group. The number of patients in each group was 60. The patients in the control group were treated with lactulose, and the patients in the experimental group were treated with Yiqi Yangyin Decoction, which was a traditional Chinese medicine. The comparative analysis in the investigation mainly covered defecation indexes before and after treatment, the probability of adverse reactions, the health measurement scale (SF-36) score, and clinical efficacy. Results: Compared with the investigation results of the two groups, there was no significant difference in defecation indexes between the patients in the experimental group and the control group before treatment (P>0.05), but the defecation indexes were significantly improved after treatment (P<0.05). At the same time, the probability of adverse reactions after medication was significantly lower than that in the control group, which significantly improved the quality of life score. The defecation indexes had more significant curative effects. The differences between groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of Yiqi Yangyin Decoction treatment has many advantages, such as reducing the incidence of recurrence and adverse reactions, maintaining the quality of life of patients, changing adverse defecation symptoms, and speeding up the patient's rehabilitation, which has the value of promotion and application.
