|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on interstitial cystitis.
Methods: The patient diagnosed with Interstitial cystitis/Bladder pain syndrome(IC/BPS) was treated with Korean medicine treatment during 22 days of hospitalization. The patient received Korean medicine treatment including herbal medicine, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, moxibustion, cupping and extracorporeal magnetic stimulation therapy. The effect of treatment on IC/BPS was evaluated through the Numeric Rating Scale(NRS), voiding diary, and Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index/Problem Index(ICSI/ICPI).
Results: After the treatment, the clinical symptoms of IC/BPS such as pelvic pain, pelvic pressure, frequent urination and urinary urgency were improved. Also, the patient had better scores in ICSI/ICPI.
Conclusions: This case report proved that the Korean medicine treatment may be effective for improving clinical symptoms of IC/BPS. However, a large-scale clinical study is needed in the future to prove the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment for IC/BPS.
