Objectives: This case study reports a Taeumin patient with Gastro-esophageal reflux disease who had suffered from chest pain, heartburn, acid regurgitation and dyspepsia who improved after Yeoldahanso-tang(Reduohanshao-tang) medication.
Methods: This patient had started treatment with Yeoldahanso-tang(Reduohanshao-tang), three times per day for three months and assessed the changes of the main symptoms such as chest pain, heartburn and acid regurgitation from baseline to post-treatment using a questionnaire with visual analogue scale(VAS). Electrogastrography(EGG) was also performed for assessment of gastric function from baseline to post-treatment.
Results: After the treatment, symptoms of GERD such as chest pain, heartburn, and acid regurgitation are almost disappeared. The patient don¡¯t need to take the proton pump inhibitor therapy. There was significant increase of % bradygastria parameters in fed EEG after treatment with Yeoldahansotang(Reduohanshao-tang). And significant increase of the power ratio after treatment was shown (20.5), compared with initial EGG(0.0).
Conclusions: This results show Yeoldahanso-tang(Reduohanshao-tang) can be used to treat GERD with Dry-heat symptom of Taeumin. This results suggest that Sasang Constitutional treatment for GERD patients who has a chronic condition with highly recurrence rate, might be a candidate for a therapeutic agent. Also effects of Yeoldahanso-tang(Reduohanshaotang) on GERD need further studies such as clinical trials.
