Abstract
|
|
|
Ileus is blockage of the intestine that prevents the contents of the intestine from passing to the lower bowel. In western medical treatment, surgery is mandatory for severe cases such as strangulation ileus. However more generally, conservative management is used for treatment. Examples of conservative management are decompression with tube, fluid treatment, enema and fasting cure.
Until now, many oriental medical studies have been conducted on chronic ileus, but almost none on acute ileus.
The results for the case in this report suggest that oriental medical treatment such as acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine is effective in treating acute ileus.
We think that further studies should be conducted on a combination therapy with other oriental medical treatment such as retention enema.
