Pharmacological art therapy based on holistic view of traditional chinese medicine and pharmacology for elderly with chronic diseases

To investigate the efficacy of a drug-art therapy intervention combining traditional Chinese medicine and modern pharmacology for the treatment of chronic diseases in the elderly. In this study, elderly diabetic patients were treated through a combination of medication and art therapy. The efficacy was monitored by biochemical indicators such as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipid levels and the data were analysed by t-test for the outcome scores before and after treatment. The patients were found to have significantly improved glycaemic control, enhanced cardiovascular function and significantly improved quality of life after drug-art therapy. This study validates the effectiveness of drug-art therapy interventions in chronic disease management and highlights the comprehensive advantages of combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern pharmacological therapies.
