Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of using the therapeutic apparatus for music therapy based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)syndrome differentiation in the treatment of functional abdominal distension. Methods Totally 60 patients with functional abdominal distension were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group, with 30 cases in each group. All patients received a routine treatment and nursing (7 days per course, two courses), and the music therapy based on TCM syndrome differentiation by using a therapeutic apparatus was performed in the intervention group. The Gastrointestinal Symptom Assessment score and overall effective rate were compared between two groups. Results The Gastrointestinal Symptom Assessment score decreased in both two group after two courses of treatment, and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Assessment score in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.01). The overall effective rate was 93.33%(28/30) in the intervention group, which was significant higher than 73.33%(22/30) in the control group(P<0.01). No serious adverse reaction was reported in either group. Conclusion The therapeutic apparatus for music therapy based on TCM syndrome differentiation is safe and effective in the treatment of functional abdominal distension.
