Participants received Qirui Weishu Capsule (4 capsules/dose, twice daily before meals). Efficacy was assessed using NRS pain scores, the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI), and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS).&amp;nbsp;Results: Treatment significantly improved gastrointestinal quality of life (GIQLI) and reduced symptom severity (GSRS). Pain/discomfort (NRS) showed sustained relief within 2&amp;ndash;4 weeks, with an average pain-relief onset time of 6.67&amp;plusmn;1.53 days. The pain improvement efficacy rate reached 96% (P &amp;lt; 0.05). Safety: No adverse reactions (e.g., hepatic/kidney impairment, coagulation abnormalities) were observed.&amp;nbsp;Conclusion:&amp;nbsp;Qirui Weishu Capsule rapidly alleviates abdominal pain (within 2&amp;ndash;4 weeks), significantly enhances quality of life, and demonstrates favorable safety, making it a preferred treatment for chronic gastritis with abdominal pain.</abstract><keywords>Chronic gastritis,Abdominal pain,Qirui Weishu Capsule</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>[1] Correa P, 1992, Human gastric carcinogenesis: a multistep and multifactorial process - First American Cancer Society Award Lecture on Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention.
