Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yi Qi Gu Biao (YQGB) pill in treating frequent exacerbator phenotype in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung and spleen qi deficiency syndrome) (FEPCOPD). Methods. This prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study assessed 112 cases (64 included) of FEPCOPD treated at the outpatient department in our hospital in January–August 2016. The patients were randomly divided into YQGB and placebo (Pb) and treated for three months. Lung function, CAT, mMRC, and TCM symptom scores (TCMs) were observed. Results. Compared with Pb, YQGB showed decreased wheezing symptom scores (WSs) and TCMs at one month and decreased CAT and TCMs at three months. From one to three months, CAT, cough, sputum, WSs, and TCMs in YQGB were lower than pretreatment values. But in Pb, CAT was lower than pretreatment values after one month; CAT, sputum, and TCMs were lower than pretreatment values after two months; CAT, cough, sputum, WSs, and TCMs were lower than pretreatment values after three months. Conclusion. Yi Qi Gu Biao pill can improve wheezing, health status, and TCMs in FEPCOPD and also can shorten the durations of cough, sputum, and wheezing. This trial is registered in the Clinical Trials Registry of China: ChiCTR-IOR-15007542 (on 8 December 2015).
