|
|
This patient was 18 year-old man who had severe nausea, vomiting, stomachache but medical examination revealed no abnormality. The symptom lasted for 2 months and he lost 15kilograms. The patient had no underlying diseases. He was treated by korean medicine, containing acupuncture, cupping therapy and herb medicines during 9 days. The severity of nausea was scored by the Numerous Rating Scale and the frequency of vomitng was evaluated by count. After that period, patient¡¯s symptom was improved and his other conditions were also better, compared with his admission. This study suggests that Korean medicine could have a therapeutic effect for nausea, vomiting, stomachache and rapid weight loss that the cause has not been diagnosed by Western medicine. It could help to improve patient¡¯s symptoms and make general conditions better.
