Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: To describe the treatment of a 46-year-old female patient with supragastric belching using Korean medical
treatment and Melonis Calyx vomiting therapy.
Methods: The treatment included three administrations of Melonis Calyx vomiting therapy (day 2, day 9, and day 16),
herbal decoction, acupuncture, and moxibustion. The severity of symptoms was evaluated daily with a numeric rating scale (NRS).
Results: Korean medical treatment suppressed the belching and improved other symptoms. After using the Melonis Calyx,
the severity of belching decreased from NRS 4 to NRS 1 (day 2), from NRS 3 to NRS 1 (day 9), and no further change
from NRS 1 (day 13).
Conclusions: Melonis Calyx vomiting therapy appears to be an effective treatment for patients with supragastric belching.
Further study will be needed to confirm the effectiveness of Melonis Calyx vomiting therapy on supragastric belching.
