Abstract

|
|
Objective : The purpose of this study was to report the effect of Bogijetong-tang on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Methods : Nine patients who were diagnosed or suspected with diabetic peripheral neuropathy enrolled in this study. They took Bogijetong-tang 2 or 3 times a day and were given acupuncture therapy. To evaluate the therapeutic effect, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) or Total Symptom Score (TSS) were examined at intervals of about 7 days.
Result : TSS score decreased an average of 2.74 points and VAS scores decreased an average of 3.67 points. As the pain decreased, accompanied gait disturbance also improved in some patients.
Conclusion : Bogijetong-tang is effective in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy, but study of the concrete mechanism and efficacy is needed.
