Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: This study explored the clinical usefulness of Nangan-jeon decoction to treat refractory functional dyspepsia.
Methods: A 61-year-old female had been suffering from severe functional dyspepsia for about 40 years, but the dyspeptic symptoms rapidly improved after taking Nangan-jeon decoction. The clinical outcome was assessed by the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the self-reporting method.
Result: After there was no improvement from various herbal treatments in a department of a Korean college hospital, the patient moved to the author’s clinic. She had been diagnosed with the pattern identification of “liver-kidney deficiency cold” and prescribed with Nangan-jeon decoction. This herbal drug rapidly improved her dyspeptic symptoms, from NRS 10 to NRS 2 (after 3 weeks) and NRS 1 (after 7 weeks).
Conclusion: This case report is the first to present the potential of Nangan-jeon decoction to improve refractory functional dyspepsia.
