Detailed Description
keywords᧶Diabetic Nephropathy, Daycare, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Diabetic nephropathy is not only an important issue of national health, but also a disease that TCM can play an important role. The aim of this project is to build up a TCM clinical daycare model for diabetic nephropathy patients, and to establish a teaching platform for TCM trainees. The TCM daycare model will be provided by a team organized by doctors, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionist and case managers. This model will provide a comprehensive TCM care system to improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of diabetic nephropathy patients. The teaching platform of the TCM daycare clinics for diabetic nephropathy patients will provide a good clinical training environment for the trainees. They can learn how to take care ofdiabetic nephropathy patients by the lectures and the clinical practice experiences in the daycare clinics. They can also learn a holistic approach, a patient-centered healthcare service. This teaching model will strengthen the clinical training of TCM and enhance the international competitiveness of TCM doctors.
Material and methods:
A total of 30 volunteers of patients with Diabetic nephropathy will be recruited from the Chinese medicine or Western medicine clinics. After diagnosis by nephrology physician, 15 patients will be distributed to combinational Western and TCM daycare model, one time a week, for 12 weeks (12 treatment in total). Another 15 patients will enter Western daycare model. The assignment depends on the patients' own will. The TCM day care model will be provided by a team work clinical care system organized by doctors, nurses, pharmacists and case managers. This model will provide a comprehensive TCM care system for every visit. Laboratory biochemistries analysis and other questionnaires including SF36 health survey, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Beck Depression Inventory-II, FACIT-fatigue Scale, the Galer Jensen Neuropathic Pain Scale, SF-BPI, TC-AE, and constitution in Chinese medicine questionnaire will be completed at 1 weeks, and 12 weeks after join this study. Instrumental examinations including heart rate variability will be given before and after intervention.
Predict results:
The investigators expect that the efficacy of this combined western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine day care model will be improving neuropathy symptoms, edema, fatigue, physical function and quality of life in diabetic nephropathy patients. The effectiveness of combined therapy can be measured by questionnaires. Moreover, the investigators will further speculate the mechanism by analyzing laboratory data.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: TCM daycare model
15 patients will be assigned to this arm.
The assignment depends on the patients' own will.
After diagnosis by nephrology physician, these patients will be distributed to control group by their wills.
The intervention is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) daycare model, which provides multiple approaches of traditional Chinese medical treatment, including 5 tones of Chinese music, massage on meridians and collaterals, acupuncture, and patient education.
The treatment course is one time a week, for 12 weeks (12 treatments in total).
And the model will be provided by a team work clinical care system organized by doctors, nurses, pharmacists and case managers, also provide a comprehensive TCM care system for every visit.
