Aims: The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of Jian-Pi Lian-Se Tang (JPLST), a formula of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of salivation and frequent nighttime urination (FNU) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Method: Forty-eight patients with ALS suffering from salivation and/or FNU who were outpatients or inpatients of Shuguang Hospital were included into the study and divided into 2 groups as follows: the JPLST group (n = 24) included patients who were additionally treated with JPLST, and the control group (n = 24) included patients who were treated by routine Western medicine (for 6 weeks). The changes in the quantity of salivation/sialorrhea (QS) (in mL) and in FNU as the primary result and the total scores of the Amyloid Lateral Sclerosis Function Rating Scale (ALSFRS) and of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) as the secondary result were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy for both groups. Results: No significant differences were found for the baseline of QS, FNU, and the scores of the ESS and of the ALSFRS before and after treatment for both groups. At the end of the 6th week, 2 patients in the JPLST group and 4 patients in the control group withdrew from the study. QS and FNU were much less severe in the JPLST group than before treatment, and the ESS scores were improved, too. The ALSFRS did not show any significant differences in both groups compared with before treatment at the end of week 6. No side effects were found for both groups by laboratory tests. Conclusion: The much improved parameters of QS, FNU, and ESS for the JPLST group indicate that JPLST may be a potential additional treatment for salivation and FNU in ALS patients. Large-scale multicenter double-blind randomized-control studies are needed to verify the effectiveness of JPLST in improving salivation and FNU in patients with ALS.

“…A fu-szervek magukban foglalják az epét, a gyomrot, a vékonybelet, a vastagbelet, a húgyhólyagot, valamint a törzsben lévő üreges teret (szancsiao). A zang-szervek az életműködéshez szükséges anyagok tárolásáért, termeléséért felelnek, míg a fu-szervek a tápanyagok szállításáért és átalakításáért, így az élelem bevitele és megemésztése, a tápanyagok megőrzése, valamint a feleslegessé váló anyagok eltávolítása a funkciójuk [6].…”
