Abstract
|
|
|
|
This case report introduced the use of herbal medicine to treat a sternum fracture. A 46-year-old female patient with a sternum fracture from a traffic accident suffered from anterior chest wall pain. She was treated with herbal medicine. The patient's progress was evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS), and the frequency of tingling in the chest wall was also tracked. After treatment, both the NRS of chest pain and frequency of tingling decreased. The results of this study suggest that herbal medicine can effectively decrease pain and discomfort in patients suffering from a sternum fracture. However, further studies are needed to obtain stronger evidence for its efficacy.
