ABSTRACT
Hangekobokuto is a “<i>kizai</i>” (psychoactivity modulating drug), which is often used for “<i>inchu-sharen</i>” (feeling that something is obstructing the throat). Many previous papers have pointed out its importance when treating abdominal symptoms, especially “<i>chukan-himan</i>” (feeling of fullness/stomach mid-segment obstruction).<br>We administered an extract or decoction of Hangekobokuto, to the patients with oppressive “<i>chukan</i>” pain and discomfort, and examined their chief complaints, subjective symptoms and abdominal symptoms, especially the state of their “<i>chukan</i>” and the change of that “<i>chukan</i>” after administration. We found “<i>inchu-sharen</i>” (66.7%), sense of cold (55.6%), moderate abdominal strength (77.8%), changes in the epigastrium (38.9%), clapotage (11.1%).<br>We showed that in terms of the state of “<i>chukan</i>, ”, oppressive pain was eliminated or reduced in 69.2% of the patients except omission.
