Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report on the efficacy of Korean medical treatment for voiding dysfunction.
Methods: We treated a patient with voiding dysfunction using Korean medical treatments (herbal medicines, acupuncture, and herbal acupuncture therapy). To evaluate the results of this treatment, we measured the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and the visual analog scale (VAS) for residual urination, dysuria, and miction pain. The general health status was evaluated with the European quality of life-5 dimensions (EQ-5d) scale.
Results: We observed improvements in the IPSS and the EQ-5d scale after the treatments. Changes in the VAS reflected relief of residual urination and dysuria but not miction pain.
Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medicine may be effective to treat voiding dysfunction.
