Abstract

|
|
This study is a clinical report of one patient with symptoms remaining after western medical therapy for ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis, a diffuse inflammatory disease of the mucosal lining of the colon and rectum, is characterized by a remitting and relapsing course. Therefore treatment is difficult and the proper treatment typically isn’t established. We provided acupuncture-moxibustion therapy 28 times and prescribed Dansamboheol-tang gagam, which functions by nourishing the blood (補血), strengthening the spleen (健脾), adjustment of ki (理氣), removal of extravasated blood (祛瘀), and warming of the kidney (溫腎), for 30 days. The patient improved in quality of life and the symptoms disappeared. This study suggests that Dansamboheol-tang gagam, acupuncture, and moxibustion treatment has an effect on improving the symptoms remaining after western medical therapy for ulcerative colitis.
