Effect Study of Chinese Herbal Medicine for Functional Constipation

Effect Study of Chinese Herbal Medicine for Functional Constipation: "Functional constipation (FC) is common with 14.3% estimated prevalence in HK, but treatment for this condition in conventional medicine is suboptimal. Complementary and alternative medicines, especially Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) are used frequently by patients with FC, but there is little research evidence about these commonly used CHM. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHM, and its impact on quality of life of patients with FC. "
