ABSTRACT
We experienced a patient whose trigeminal neuralgia disappeared after treatment with keishikaryojutsubuto and maobushisaishinto. A 77-year-old man developed excruciating pain by a cold wave. The patient received Kampo medicine classified for treating coldness in addition to pregabalin. Ten days later, the patient was relieved of the excruciating pain. It was suggested that the synergistic effect between Kampo medicine and Pregabalin could relieve the pain.
ABSTRACT
We experienced a patient whose left back pain disappeared after treatment combined with Kampo medicine and cervical sympathetic block. A 74-year-old woman developed pain without trigger over one year. The patient received Kampo medicine classified for treating kankiukketsu and cervical sympathetic block. Three months later, the patient was relieved from the prolonged pain. It was suggested that the synergistic effect between Kampo medicine and cervical sympathetic block could relieve prolonged pain more rapidly by bringing more effective relief of autonomic dystonia.
ABSTRACT
<p>We reported a patient whose left hypochondrial pain disappeared after treatment with jidabokuippo and sokeikakketsuto. An 81-years-old woman developed pain after bruising for 2 months. Intercostal nerve block temporarily reduced the pain ; however, considerable pain subsequently remained. The patient received Jidabokuippo and Sokeikakketsuto. Seventeen days later, the patient was relieved from the prolonged pain and had melanotic defecation. This suggests that formulas classified for the treatment of potential blood stasis may relieve prolonged pain.</p>
