Abstract

|
|
Objective: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical treatment of a nighttime sensation of heat on the palms and soles of the feet of a 71-year-old female patient using Sammulhwanggeum-tang.
Methods: Sammulhwanggeum-tang was administered for 19 days to reduce the patient’s symptoms, which were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) and by duration.
Results: The heat sensation began to improve after four days and continued to do so for the subsequent 15 days. From May 12, X to May 30, X, the degree of subjective symptoms decreased from a VAS score of 10 before treatment to 0 after treatment, and their daily duration decreased from 10 to 0 hours. In addition, considering that the duration of the patient’s symptoms was about 30 days, the duration of the symptoms decreased to 17 days, including the period before the start of treatment.
Conclusion: This clinical study suggests that Sammulhwanggeum-tang might be effective in resolving the sensation of heat on the palms and soles of the feet at night.
