Objective: The aim of this report is to report the effects of Danggwisaeyeok-tang (Ó×ÏýÞÌæ½÷·) on Raynaud phenomenon in a patient.
Methods: A 57-year-old male diagnosed in 2016 with Raynaud's phenomenon complained of pain, digital ulceration, and discoloration of his fingers. He underwent acupuncture and electroacupuncture treatment, but the symptoms gradually worsened, so we administered herbal medicine, Danggwisaeyeok-tang (Ó×ÏýÞÌæ½÷·). Visual observation of the affected part, changes in subjective symptoms, and a verbal numerical rating scale (VNAS) were used to assess the clinical response.
Results: After treatment with Danggwisaeyeok-tang, the patient reported improvement in his symptoms of cold sensation, ulceration, and sclerosis of his digits. Furthermore, the patient exhibited no general adverse effects.
Conclusions: Danggwisaeyeok-tang (Ó×ÏýÞÌæ½÷·) significantly improved the patient's clinical symptoms. This case suggests that Danggwisaeyeok-tang (Ó×ÏýÞÌæ½÷·) may represent a good option for the treatment of Raynaud¡¯s phenomenon.
