Clinical trial finds that Jingyin granules are effective as an additive treatment for Covid-19

In the midst of the global pandemic, scientists and researchers worked tirelessly to find effective treatments for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. One such clinical trial has shed light on the clinical efficacy of Jingyin granules, a traditional Chinese patent medicine, in treating patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019. This clinical trial presents promising results that could offer a glimmer of hope in the fight against the pandemic.

Jingyin Granules

Jingyin granules are a type of traditional Chinese medicine, also known as Chinese patent medicine. These granules are made from a combination of natural herbs and ingredients that have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine practices. Chinese medicine is known for taking a holistic approach to healing, focusing on balancing the body's energies and promoting overall well-being.

Clinical Trial

 The researchers set out to investigate the effectiveness of Jingyin granules in treating patients infected with COVID-19. They conducted a clinical trial, which is a type of scientific study involving real patients, to understand how well the Chinese patent medicine worked in real-world conditions. The trial involved a group of COVID-19 patients who were given Jingyin granules as part of their treatment regimen.

The clinical trial involved 791 patients with mild Covid-19. These patients were divided into two groups. One group received Jingyin granules orally for 7 days while the other group received a placebo. The primary outcome was the negative conversion rate at 7 days.

Results

The results of the clinical trial showed promising outcomes. The researchers found that patients who received Jingyin granules as part of their treatment experienced positive effects. These effects included faster recovery times, reduced severity of symptoms, and improved overall well-being. This suggests that Jingyin granules could play a significant role in helping patients recover from COVID-19 more quickly and with fewer complications.

The negative conversion rate in the Jingyin group at 7 days post-treatment was considerably greater compared with the placebo group (89.8% vs 82.6%). Additionally, none of the patients with mild COVID-19 developed into severe cases.

What This Means

The findings of this clinical trial hold promise for the treatment of COVID-19. While it's essential to note that further research and larger-scale trials are needed to fully understand the benefits of Jingyin granules, the initial results are encouraging. Traditional Chinese medicine, like Jingyin granules, might provide a complementary approach to the treatment of COVID-19, working alongside other medications and treatments to improve patient outcomes.

Conclusion

In the battle against COVID-19, researchers are exploring various avenues to find effective treatments. This clinical trial offers hope by showcasing the potential of Jingyin granules, a traditional Chinese patent medicine, in treating patients infected with the virus. This clinical trial adds to our understanding of how different approaches, including traditional medicine, can contribute to fighting the pandemic. As scientists continue their efforts, there is a glimmer of optimism that we might have a new tool in our arsenal against COVID-19.
