ABSTRACT
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mortality by age, sex, and cause of death is the foundation of public health both globally and domestically. Comparable mortality statistics over time and investigations of mortality were used to develop the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). In the ICD, the WHO states that morbidity statistics are also an essential foundation of public health, but they are much less widely applied. The 10th revision of the ICD (ICD-10) is now in use, but further revisions must be made in the development of the 11th revision (ICD-11) to capture advances in health science and medical practice, to make better use of the digital revolution, and to evaluate traditional medicine (TM). Revision of ICD-10 began in 2007, and an ICD-11 version for preparing implementation was released on July 18, 2018. ICD-11 features a new TM chapter on Japanese traditional medicine, known as Kampo medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and Korean medicine. ICD-11 will be approved at the next World Health Assembly in May 2019 and will come into effect. This means that the WHO does not currently recognize the effects of TM, but that we as well as the WHO will have hard time to prepare and study the effects of TM on morbidity statistics. It is very important to the study of Kampo medicine that we will be able to properly evaluate the terms and classifications contained in ICD-11.
ABSTRACT
In the Guideline for treatment of chronic headache published by Japanese Headache Society, Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen are proposed for the acute treatment of migraine in children. But prophylactic treatment of pediatric migraine is not established. We report the efficacy of Kampo medicine for preventing migraine in children and childhood periodic syndromes. We use a variety of Kampo medicine for 9 pediatric migraine and periodic syndromes patients from 8 to 15 years old. All 9 patients improve their headache and associated symptoms including abdominal pain, vertigo, nausea and vomiting. After treatment the mean average of Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) improve from 63.66 points to 45.77 points. Kampo medicines is effective for migraine in children and childhood periodic syndromes.
ABSTRACT
Boiogito is mentioned in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, in which it is written to add ephedra herb for patients with cough at the end of the chapter. We experienced 4 chronic cough cases of wind-wetness syndrome or edema caused by pathogenic Wind successfully treated with boiogitokamao. Subjective symptoms such as heaviness when moving, heavy sweating, and body chills, as well as objective findings such as pallor, and a weak pulse in the most distal region of the right wrist were common in these patients. Moreover, not only cough, but also accompanying symptoms such as obesity, dysmenorrhea, and eczema were improved. Observation of these four cases suggests that boiogitokamao can be effective for the treatment of the patients with chronic cough due to wind-wetness syndrome / edema caused by the pathogenic Wind.
ABSTRACT
The source of ryokankyomishingeninto, which has been used for chronic respiratory and nasal diseases by using “sunken pulse” as an indication, is the Jin-kui-yao-lue text. We, however, experienced a case of allergic rhinitis presenting with “floating pulse” successfully treated with ryokankyomishingeninto. On the basis of this case, we investigated efficacy with ryokankyomishingeninto in 16 other patients who visited our outpatient clinic from January 2007 to March 2008, and who had the all of same remarks in pulse diagnoses and nasal symptoms, such as nasal obstruction, and rhinorrhea or respiratory symptoms such as wheeze and shortness of breathing. As a result, ryokankyomishingeninto improved symptoms in all these patients. All the adult cases had a “stuck feeling in pit of stomach”. Furthermore, they had either a “water dabbling sound in the stomach”, or “cold area on the epigastrium”.
ABSTRACT
We report a case of neurogenic bladder that was successfully treated with hangebyakujutsutemmato. A 71-year-old Japanese male had difficulty in micturition because of a neurogenic bladder. We utilized hangebyakujutsutemmato on the assumption that he was suffered from qi deficiency, water retention, and qi stagnation. His symptoms disappeared with this therapy. Although kidney tonifying formulae, dampness-draining formulae, and blood stasis-resolving formulae are popular prescriptions for nerurogenic bladder, hangebyakujutsutemmato may be also effective for cases with qi deficiency, water retention, and qi stagnation.

Urinary Bladder, Neurogenic , WaterABSTRACT
We report six cases with honton disease successfully treated with a combination of goshuyuto extract and ryokeijutsukanto extract. Five of the cases were diagnosed as panic disorder, and the remaining case as generalized anxiety disorder. All six cases complained of palpitation, nausea, dizziness, headache and anxiety attacks. We diagnosed them as a hontonto (Zhouhou fang) indication. Their various complaints disappeared after combination therapy with those extracts. Furthermore, efficacy of the combination therapy was proven to be equal to hontonto. These cases suggest that the combination therapy with goshuyuto extract and ryokeijutsukanto extract is useful in place of hontonto.

Combined Modality TherapyABSTRACT
It is assumed that keishikaryojutsubuto was first described in the Ho-ki medical text, and it has been used to target neuralgia and the arthritic pain. We experienced cases of Crohn's disease, endometriosis, post-operative rectal carcinoma, acute gastroenteritis and Meniere's disease successfully treated with keishikaryojutsubuto. When this formulation is administered, it might be important to keep in mind the definition of prescriptions for keishikashakuyakuto and shimbuto, or ryokeijutsukanto, as described in the Kokan-igaku text. In addition, this formulation might be applicable to various other diseases.
