Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical effect of Kami-chungsimyeunjatang on atopic dermatitis and to survey the general characteristics in children with atopic dermatitis.
Methods: 30 patients suffering from atopic dermatitis were treated with water extract of Kami-chungsimyeunjatang and the clinical evaluation were made by SCORAD index system before and after treatment. We also investigated some characteristics of improvements by using questionnaire.
Results: 1. Among 30 patients diagnosed as atopic dermatitis, 18 of the people were male(60%) and 12 of the people were female(40%). 2. Among 30 patients diagnosed as atopic dermatitis, 24 of them have family history of allergic disease(80%) and 18 of them have past history of allergic disease(60%). 3. The distribution of nursing method, 13 of them (44%) had powdered milk, 10(33%) of them had both breast milk and powdered milk, 7 of them (23%) had only breast milk. 4. 20 patients(67%) who have atopic dermatitis were less than 1 year old and 6 of them (20%) were between 1 or 2 years old. The initial lesion of 22(74%) of the patients were face and neck. 5. 9 patients(30%) of them answered that the symptoms are getting worse especially during the winter while 8 patients(25%)of them said summer. 6. The mean period of treatment value was months. 7. After treatment, there was statistically significant decrease(p<0.05) of extent, intensity, subjective symptoms and total SCORAD index score(p=0.001). 8. After treatment, 28(93%) of the patients were improved.
Conclusions: Considering the above results, we speculate that Kami-chungsimyeunjatang is effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, and further studies are needed with more clinical cases of hematological evaluation.
