Abstract

|
|
Objective: This case study reports the effects of treating a gastric cancer patient who had undergone gastrectomy with Korean medicine.
Methods: After gastrectomy, a 77-year-old female patient received acupuncture, electroacupuncture, herbal medicine (Banhabaekchulchunma-tang, Banhahubak-tang), and moxibustion for one month.
Results: After treatment, changes were observed in the patient’s numeric rating scale (from 7 to 2); visual analog scale (from 8.7 to 2.6); Short Form-36 Health Survey scores (physical from 20 to 48 and mental from 14 to 53); Functional Dyspepsia-Related Quality of Life results (from 84 to 41); and Korean Nepean Dyspepsia Index (from 63 to 32).
Conclusion: Korean medical treatment for dyspepsia following gastrectomy is worthy of further research.
