JOURNAL FREE ACCESSShishi-hakuhi-to was prescribed for four patients with panic disorder and sleep disturbance who requested the extract. As indications for the usage of this formulation, discomfort and restlessness of the chest for which Gardeniae Fructus has proved efficacious against, were used. Symptoms such as palpitation, chest discomfort, hot flash, anxiety and insomnia improved promptly with Shishi-hakuhi-to administration. The four patients had several common points, that is, menopause, hot flash and dysesthesia, but no agoraphobia. So far, Shishi-hakuhi-to had been used for liver dysfunction and dermatological diseases. Our results suggest that Shishi-hakuhi-to might be useful for cases with psychiatric diseases such as panic disorder.View full abstractDownload PDF (788K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA 68-year-old female who had suffered from lumbar vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis six years before was admitted to our hospital because of thoracodorsal pain of an unknown origin, and systemic contact dermatitis, on November 2000. The patient had been forced into a bedridden state due to severe pain. A bone scintigram showed multiple high accumulations in the thoracispinal region, but malignant disease could not be detected. Furthermore, a MRI demonstrated multiple thoracolumber vertebral compression fractures. Keishi-bushi-to was administered to control severe and superficial pain, and the presence of cold limbs. Pain was gradually diminished and the patient could be started on rehabilitation one month after treatment. Furthermore, several Kampo formulas, such as Ogi-kenchu-to, Keikyososo-oshinbu-to and Hachimi-jio-gan were administered on the basis of pain and skin condition. In the end, the patient could stand up with support eleven months after treatment.
Based on this experience, it is suggested that Keishi-bushi-to may be an effective treatment for severe pain arising from multiple fractures with osteoporosis.View full abstractDownload PDF (5252K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSApproximately 40% of women during the course of their menstrual cycles suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The cause of this syndrome is unknown, furthermore diagnostic criteria and treatments have not been established. Kampo medicines were applied using Kami-shoyo-san as a first choice, and several other alternative Kampo medicines, to 33 PMS patient cases. To evaluate the effectiveness of this therapy, PMS scores were recorded prior to treatment. Patients' scores were recorded as; score 0 (symptomless), score 1 (endurable), score 2 (unbearable without medicine), as well as the five major characteristics of PMS, 1) psychiatric symptoms, 2) headache, 3) breast pain, 4) swelling, 5) lower abdominal pain or lumbago. The scores were verified subsequent to two menstrual cycles. Kampo medicine was found to be effective in 24 cases, with scores declining in average from 4.4 to 1.5. Further treatments were requested in 4 cases, moreover, 5 cases were discounted altogether. Thus Kampo medicine proved to be a very useful method for patients suffering from PMS.View full abstractDownload PDF (773K)
