OBJECTIVE: To probe into the effects of Shufeng Tongqiao decoction on postoperative treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps and recovery of nasal mucosa.METHODS: Totally 105 patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps admitted into Xinghua People’s Hospital from Jan.2017 to Jun.2019 were extracted to be divided into the control group（ n = 52） and the study group（ n = 53） via the random number table.Both groups were treated with endoscopic sinus surgery and washed with 0.9% normal saline after surgery.On this basis

the study group received Shufeng Tongqiao decoction for 4 weeks.The clinical efficacy

sticky nose

incidence of blood scabs and mucosal edema and hypertrophy after surgery of 1

4 and 12 weeks

nasal mucociliary transport rate（ MTR）

sinus mucosa epithelialization time and recurrence at 6 months of two groups were observed.RESULTS: The total clinical effective rate in the study group was 98.11%（ 52/53）

significantly higher than that in the control group 82.69%（ 43/52）

the difference was statistically significant（ P<0.05）.Compared with before surgery

MTR of two groups increased significantly at 4 and 12 weeks after surgery

and the difference was statistically significant（ P<0.05）; and MTR of the study group was significantly greater than that of the control group at 4 and 12 weeks after surgery

the difference was statistically significant（ P<0.001）.After surgery of 4 weeks

the incidence of sticky nose

incidence of blood scabs and mucosal edema and hypertrophy of the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group

with statistically significant difference（ P<0.05）.After surgery of 12 weeks

all symptoms disappeared in the study group

while a small number of patients in the control group still had symptoms.The difference in the incidence of sticky nose

incidence of blood scabs and mucosal edema and hypertrophy was statistically significant between two groups（ P< 0.05）.The postoperative sinus mucosa epithelialization time of the study group was significantly shorter than that of the control group

and the recurrence rate at 6 months was significantly lower than that of the control group

with statistically significant differences（ P<0.05）.CONCLUSIONS: The clinical efficacy of Shufeng Tongqiao decoction on postoperative treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps is remarkable

which can improve the clinical symptoms

promote the recovery of nasal mucosa

and the recurrence rate is lower.
