RESUMEN
Two cases in which Shakuyakukanzo-to (extract) was effective for spasms in the lower limbs. The spasms in these two cases were associated with central nervous system disorders affecting the brain or spinal cord.<br>The first case was a 61-year-old woman suffering from myelitis sequela. The spasms in her lower left leg increased in severity in the winter, and she experienced difficulty bending her left knee and walking.<br>The second case was a 29-year-old woman with convulsive cerebral anesthesia. Walking had become difficult with exacerbation of her sciatica and with increased spasms in her feet.<br>In both cases, the various muscle relaxants were not sufficiently effective. Regular administration of Shakuyakukanzo-to, however, had a remarkable immediate effect in decreasing spasms and facilitating walking.
RESUMEN
A study was conducted of the effects of Tsumura Tokishigyaku-ka-goshuyushokyo-to extract granules on eight cases of Kankyosho (Cold and Deficient Pattern of Symptoms) that had reached a plateau in their improvement under nerve-block therapy. Three weeks after administration began, a significant improvement was seen in the symptoms and the Visual Analog Scale score went form 5.6 to 3. After three months, the symptoms disappeared entirely in two cases. No particular side effects were reported. This suggested that administration of Tokishigyaku-kagoshuyushokyo-to is effective in the longterm impovement of the peripheral circulation.
