Both groups were given basic treat- ment with prednisone. The treatment group was given FGs, and the control group was given Jinshui- bao capsules （JCs）. Treatment lasted for 6 months. The Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale （MRCDS）, the Saint George＇s Hospital Respiratory Questionnaire （SGHRQ）, pulmonary function, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score （TC- MSS）, 6-min walking test （6MWT） and blood gas analyses were recorded before the study as well as 3 months and 6 months after treatment.RESULTS： FGs showed greater efficacy than the control in certain parameters between before the study and 6 months, and between 3 months and 6 months, in the MRCDS, some indicators in the SGHRQ, and the TCMSS. There were no significant differences between the treatment group and con- trol group in the remainder of the indices evaluat- ed. In the treatment group, there were significant differences in before and after treatment in the MRCDS, SGHRQ, TCMSS and 6MWT.展开更多
