Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study reports on the efficacy of treating patients with general weakness symptoms with Korean medicine.
Methods: Two patients with general weakness symptoms were treated with Korean medical treatment modalities, including acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicines. Blood tests, the visual analogue scale (VAS), and patients' complaints were used to assess the treatment effects.
Results and Conclusions: dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS), DHEAS/cortisol index, VAS, and the patients' complaints improved after treatment. Korean medical treatment is effective in improving DHEAS and the DHEAS/cortisol index according to the improvements in the patients' conditions. However, more studies are required to validate its use with other patients.
