Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: This case study describes the use of traditional Korean medicine to relieve chest pain and headaches in a patient with ischemic heart disease.
Methods: The patient was treated with a range of traditional Korean medicine, including acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicines (Gamiondam-tang and Cheonmabanhwa-tang-gagambang). The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to measure the patient’s status and improvements in the frequency of symptoms.
Results: After the treatment, the NRS score for chest pain and headaches decreased from 6 to 0. In addition, chest discomfort and palpitations almost subsided.
Conclusion: This clinical case study suggested that Gamiondam-tang and Cheonmabanhwa-tang-gagambang could be effective in relieving chest discomfort and headaches.
