Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends of Korean medicine treatment on postherpetic neuralgia.
Methods : Domestic databases(OASIS, KISS, RISS, KISTI, NDSL, KMbase) were used to search case studies related to Korean medical treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. Total 9 studies were selected.
Results : A total 15 prescriptions were used 22 times in 14 cases. Among them, Sipjeondaebo-tang(ä¨îïÓÞÜÍ÷·) was the most frequently prescribed. Total 91 herbs were used and they were classified as tonifying and replenishing medicine(ÜÍìÌå·), exterior-releasing medicine(ú°øúå·) and blood-activating and stasis-dispelling medicine(üÀúìËäåÜå·) in the order of mostly used. In 8 studies, in addition to herbal medicine treatment, other Korean medicine treatments such as acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, moxibusiton, cupping therapy and external agents were performed at the same time. Most frequently used acupoints were ðëЫëä(GB44) and ßÂåÕ(LI1).
Conclusions : This is the first study to analyze the trends of Korean medicine treatment for postherpetic neuralgia. Although there are some limitations, this study is thought to be helpful in the domestic treatment of postherpetic neuralgia in the future.
