|
|
Objective : The objective of this study is to report a case of atopic dermatitis (AD) treated with Hoeyeok-tang.
Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the course of herbal medicine treatment in a 20-year-old male patient with atopic dermatitis. Changes in main symptoms were confirmed based on the gross findings and assessed using SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Index. Accompanying symptoms and side effects that can be referred to for diagnosis were analyzed by referring to the clinical records.
Results : According to the Shanghanlun provision, the patient’s AD was diagnosed with Terminal-yin Gwakran 389th provision. The patient was treated with Hoeyeok-tang for 90 days. The severity of pruritus decreased, and SCORAD Index was decreased from 44.6 to 8.4. VAS for eye fatigue and nausea was decreased from 10 to 5, also. No particular side effects occurred to the patient while taking the Hoeyeok-tang.
Conclusions : The result suggests the clinical applicability of 389th provision of Shanghanlun.
