METHODS:Forty patients in the treatment group were treated withmodified Pinellia Decoction for Draining the Heart and 38 patients in the control group were treated with Jinsang Liyan Wan ([Chinese characters: see text] Pills for a Good Voice by Relieving Sore-Throat). The effects were evaluated by the improvement in symptoms and the parameters obtained in a grading system of gastroscopy and laryngoscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The comparison of therapeutic effects on complication of laryngopharyngitis, GERD symptoms, and findings in gastroscope grading and laryngoscope (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) demonstrated that the modified Pinellia Decoction for Draining the Heart was much more effective in treating laryngopahryngitis caused by gastroesophageal reflux.
