Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study investigated the effects of Korean medicine treatments on Buerger¡¯s disease.
Methods: From December 27, 2022, to January 16, 2023, we treated Soeumin patients with Buerger¡¯s disease admitted to a hospital specializing in Korean medicine. The patient¡¯s symptoms included feelings of coldness in the lower extremities, feelings of dullness, and stabbing pain. For treatment, Korean medicine treatments, such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medications (Sogyeonghwalhyeol-tang granules and Gwangyebujaijung-tang-gami) were administered. The patient¡¯s improvement was evaluated using the numerical rating scale (NRS) every day. Lower extremity and foot temperatures were evaluated using digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI).
Results: Through the treatment regimen, the patient¡¯s NRS scores decreased, and lower extremity and foot temperatures increased.
Conclusions: Korean medicine treatments for cold lower extremities, feelings of dullness, and stabbing pain caused by Buerger¡¯s disease are potentially effective.
