Core Tip

Core Tip: One hundred and twenty patients with colic were divided into a control group (treated with divine lamp irradiation) and an observation group (treated with divine lamp irradiation combined with purple grass oil gauze external application). The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the duration of symptoms and the Numeric Rating Scale score were lower than those of the control group; there was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups. The combination of divine lamp irradiation and purple grass oil gauze is effective and safe for patients with intestinal colic.
