Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate recent clinical studies on the effect of herbal medicine in molluscum contagiosum in China, and to seek better methods to treat and study for molluscum contagiosum in Korea.
Methods : We searched the clinical studies from the China Academic Journal (CAJ) in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) by key words ¡®?æøàõ??¡¯, ¡®ö½?¡¯, ¡®ñé?ö½?¡¯, ¡®ñé?¡¯ from January 2001 to August 2018. We analyzed the literature in regards to the treatment methods and results.
Results : Among the 103 searched studies, 9 randomized controlled trials, 2 controlled clinical trials, and 16 case studies were selected and analyzed. In most of the studies, the effectiveness of herbal medicine on molluscum contagiosum was significantly high. The most commonly used herbs for oral administration were Isatidis Radix (÷ùÕÀÐÆ), Coicis Semen (ëûì¾ìÒ), Cyperi Rhizoma (úÅݾí), Equiseti Herba (ÙÊîä), Poria (ÜÚ?), Lithospermi Radix (í¹õ®), Isatidis Folium (ÓÞôìç¨) and Lonicerae Flos (ÑÑëÞü£). The most commonly used herbs for external applications were Isatidis Radix (÷ùÕÀÐÆ), Lonicerae Flos (ÑÑëÞü£), Cyperi Rhizoma (úÅݾí), Equiseti Herba (ÙÊîä), Dictamni Radicis Cortex (ÛÜàØù«), Isatidis Folium (ÓÞôìç¨) and Brucea javanica (ä¼ÓÅí).
Conclusions : Based on the results of the clinical studies from China, the use of Korean medicine for treatment of molluscum contagiosum has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms. Based on the result of this study, it will be possible to widen the scope of Korean medicine on infectious disease, such as molluscum contagiosum. Additional clinical studies and experimental studies need to be performed to solidify these findings.
