    AbstractTraditional Chinese medicines (TCM) are often used for the treatment of spleen-deficiency (SD) syndrome in China. This study evaluated the curative effects of TCM Shengjing Runchang Decoction on SD-induced constipation children. From July 2019 to April 2020, a total of 70 children with constipation due to spleen deficiency who were admitted to our hospital were selected and randomly divided into control group (n = 35) and treatment group (n = 35). Both groups were treated with standard western medicine, and the treatment group was combined with TCM Shengjing Runchang Decoction at the same time. The clinical efficacy and neurocytokines including 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), children's colonic transit time (CTT), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, colonic estrogen receptor before and after treatment were analyzed and compared between the 2 groups. The curative effect, total effective rate of TCM syndromes, CTT, 5-HT and plasma VIP levels, glial cell-derived nerve effects of trophic factor levels, immune function IgG, IgGA, CD4/CD8 in the treatment group were significantly promoted in comparison with the control group (P > .05). The TCM Shengjing Runchang Decoction is effective in treatment with children with SD-induced constipation, which can effectively improve immune function, reduce neurotrophic factor secretion and maintain normal secretion and improve colonic motor function.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
