Abstract：Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of Sihuang San cold compress on conjunctivitis.Method:A total of 60 patients with conjunctivitis admitted to Renhuai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2023 to December 2024 were selected as the study sample.The grouping was determined using a random number table,with the control group(n=30,conventional symptomatic treatment)and the observation group(n=30,conventional treatment+Si Huang San cold compress)designated accordingly.The symptom and sign scores,symptom relief time,clinical efficacy,Schirmer test,tear break-up time(BUT),and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Result:Prior to treatment,no significant difference was observed in conjunctival edema and conjunctival hyperemia scores between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment ended,the two groups showed a significant reduction in scores,the observation group demostrated lower scores than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).In terms of burning sensation,conjunctival hyperemia,foreign body sensation,conjunctival edema,and duration of discharge,the observation group exhibited shorter durations compared to the control group,with the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).Regarding the overall treatment efficacy rate,the observation group achieved a higher rate compared to the control group,with the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).For Schirmer test values and BUT scores,no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment completion,the two groups showed improvements in these parameters,the observation group demostrated higher values than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).In terms of adverse reaction incidence,the observation group had a lower incidence rate compared to the control group,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Cold compress with Sihuang San can improve the clinical efficacy of conjunctivitis,effectively improve symptoms such as conjunctival edema,shorten the duration of symptoms,promote the recovery of conjunctival related functions,and has good safety.
