Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationships between TCM constitutional types and TCM syndrome of patients with recurrent mouth ulcers (ROU).Methods Questionnaire was designed according to Chinese medicine clinical research of new drugs guiding principles and Classification and determination of TCM constitution.From July 1st,2016 to June 30th,2017,150 patients with ROU were included in and were given questionnaire investigation.Results Among 150 cases,15 cases(10.00%)were normal constitution and 135 cases(90.00%)were biased constitution.The first four types of biased constitution were damp-heat constitution(44 cases,29.33%),yang deficiency constitution(30 cases,20.00%),yin deficiency constitution(18 cases,12.00%),and phlegm-dampness constitution(17 cases,11.30%).31.81%of patients with damp-heat constitution got flaring-up of stomach fire syndrome,while 45.45%of them got accumulated heat in heart and spleen syndrome.50.00%of patients with yang deficiency constitution got syndrome of spleen-kidney yang deficiency.Among those with yin deficiency constitution,33.33%got syndrome of fire excess from yin deficiency and 33.33%got syndrome of dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency.35.29%of those with phlegm-dampness constitution were with syndrome of dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency at time.Conclusion People with damp-heat constitution,yang deficiency constitution,yin deficiency constitution,and phlegm-dampness constitution are more likely to get ROU.Patients of ROU with different constitutions may get different syndromes,so,in the treatment of ROU,the type of patients′constitution should be paid attention to and understand the law of its development by grasping the constitution,and it is necessary to apply the syndrome differentiation and treatment on the basis of the constitution identification;in the prevention,it is expected that through physical identification,it is possible to guide the people with ROU who have the physique to adopt appropriate methods of care,so as to improve the bias constitution and prevent the occurrence and development of ROU.
