Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study reports on the efficacy of using Korean medical treatment for suspected gastric ulcer.
Methods: We treated a patient with suspected gastric ulcer using Korean medical treatments (herbal medicines, acupuncture, and herbal acupuncture therapy). We evaluated the results using a numerical rating scale (NRS) to measure abdominal pain. The degree of gastrointestinal symptoms was also evaluated using the Korean Gastrointestinal Symptom
Rating Scale (KGSRS). The generic health status was evaluated using the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) scale.
Results: The NRS and EQ-5D scale scores were improved after the treatments. The change in the KGSRS scores showed that the patient’s abdominal pain was relieved.
Conclusions: The results of this case study suggest that Korean medicine therapies may be effective in the treatment of suspected gastric ulcer.
