ABSTRACT
There are cases of finger pain in which a definite diagnosis including rheumatoid arthritis cannot be made even after thorough examinations. We herein report the results of Kampo treatment in such cases with so called undifferentiated arthritis. Sixty-two patients (male, n = 5 ; female, n = 57 ;average age, 49.7 years) were included in the present study. There is a tendency of the Kampo concept of a cold pattern (n = 39 ; 63%), static blood (oketsu, n = 47;76%), and qi stagnation (n = 44 ;71%). Among the 62 cases, excellent results were obtained in 29 cases (47%), good results were obtained in 10 cases (16%), and no effect was obtained in 23 cases (37%). Kamishoyosan, which was administered in 30 cases, was the most commonly used Kampo medicine. In most cases, Kampo treatment was given with a combination of two or more formulas. A paired formula of kamishoyosan and keishikaryojutsubuto was used in 9 cases, 8 of which showed good or excellent results (efficacy rate 89%). Qi- and/or ketsu-tonifying formulations and formulations with warming effects were often used for the treatment of undifferentiated finger arthritis.
