Three Cases of Acute Abdomen Treated with Daikenchuto in Emergency Room / 日本東洋医学雑誌

Daikenchuto has been attracting nationwide attention in recent years, with its therapeutic efficacy on posto-perative complaints and complications. We treated three patients with acute abdomen using daikenchuto. They suffered from severe abdominal pains and abdominal radiographs showed small intestine gases. All three recovered from their pains or nausea after taking daikenchuto, and were discharged home without hospital admission. The use of daikenchuto against acute abdomen is recommended in emergency medicine.
