Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine, especially Gami-onchung-eum, for treatment of a patient with Sjogren’s syndrome.
Methods: The patient, diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome, was suffering from systemic symptoms accompanied by dry mouth, dry eye, and fatigue. We treated her with Korean medicine involving a herbal decoction, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping. We used the European League Against Rheumatism Sjogren’s Syndrome Patient Reported Index for assessment.
Results: Based on the European League Against Rheumatism Sjogren’s Syndrome Patient Reported Index, after 28 days of treatment, dry mouth decreased to a score of 5, dry eye decreased to 2, and fatigue decreased to 3.
Conclusions: Korean medicine, including Gami-onchung-eum, may be an effective treatment for Sjogren’s syndrome.
