Clinical observation on 80 children with peptic ulcer treated primarily by traditional Chinese medicine.

Using the empirical recipe of Wang Pengfei (a very experienced TCM doctor) as the main treatment, the authors treated 80 children with peptic ulcer by means of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis as well as regulating the flow of qi, alleviating pain, tonifying the stomach and reinforcing the spleen. Measures for hemostasis, correction of anemia and other general treatment were also taken. After 8 weeks of treatment, a total effective rate of 92.5% was obtained.
