Summary

Bronchiectasis is a chronic airway disease which confers significant healthcare burden, with limited therapeutic approaches. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, congenital insufficiency of the lung, spleen and kidney, when coupled with external injury or mood impairment, may collectively contribute to bronchiectasis pathogenesis due to heat trapping in the phlems, congestion of wind evils and stagnation of blood. Here, the investigators will explore the Lung Dispersing, Turbid Descending and Gut Clearing Decoction (LTGD) which targets at expelling the wind evil in patients with bronchiectasis. The investigators sought to conduct a multicenter, randomized cross-over trial which investigates the efficacy and safety of LTGD on clinically stable bronchiectasis.
