Abstract：Objective：To study and analyze the relationship between Chinese medicine syndrome types and local signs of nose and pharynx in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods：Patients with snoring history were examined by polysomnography，and patients who diagnosed with OSAHS were further examined by special Chinese medicine doctors according to the Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation standard drawn up in this study. Signs and syndrome types were determined after inquiry，inspection of the complexion，tongue inspection，and pulse diagnosis. At the same time，routine oropharyngeal examination and electronic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy were performed to record the local signs of nose and pharynx. The data were input and analyzed by SPSS(version 19.0) statistical software. Results：A total of 95 cases of patients were enrolled，involving 20 cases of phlegm-heat type，22 of phlegm-dampness type，19 of phlegm-stasis binding type，18 of the spleen qi deficiency type，and 16 of the kidney yang deficiency type. In terms of the relationship between local signs and Chinese medicine syndrome types，only a few local signs were found to have a certain correlation with Chinese medicine syndrome types：purulent yellow nasal secretions were more common in patients with phlegm-heat type (P＜0.05)，purulent white nasal secretions were more common in patients with the kidney yang deficiency type(P＜0.05)， and poor epiglottic lifting function was more common in patients with the spleen qi deficiency type and the kidney yang deficiency type(P＜0.05). Conclusion：Some local signs of nose and pharynx can be used as the reference basis for Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation of OSAHS，but further research is still needed to verify the reliability of the conclusion.
