ABSTRACT
Heat-treated and detoxified Aconite tuber has many useful properties such as analgesic, diuretic, and cardiotonic effects. Two hundred forty-seven patients were treated with Aconite Tuber powder (1.5 - 8.0g/day) added to Kampo extract granules. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used for the assessment of its pain-relieving effect. One hundred two patients improved dramatically (the pre/post administration VAS ratio was less than 50%), 84 improved (between 51 to 75%), and61did not improved (more than 76%). Three patients(1.2%) showed adverse reactions, such as tongue numbness, squeezing sensation of the bladder, anasarca. These reactions were not serious. This study suggests that Aconite tuber powder can be used more widely, especially for arthralgia and somatic pain with coldness in elderly patients.
