We reported two cases successfully treated with sano-to (Senkin-Ho). Case 1 was a 63-year old female, who visited our department in December 2004 complaining of polyarthralgia, a burning sensation in the hands and feet, irritability and chilliness. We prescribed sano-to (Senkin-Ho). The visual analogue scale (VAS) decreased from 100 mm on the first visit to 23 mm 10 months later in October 2005. Case 2 was a 62-year old female, who came to our department complaining of whole body pain in August 2004. Various Kampo medicines were tried but proved ineffective, and in June 2005 she was hospitalized. At that time, in addition to whole body pain, she complained of a burning sensation in her feet, psychological anxiety, and chillness. We prescribed sano-to (Senkin-Ho). After 2 months, her VAS decreased from 80 mm to 20 mm. We consider that sano-to (Senkin-Ho) should be prescribed more actively when patients suffer from painful diseases accompanied with subjective symptoms such as a burning sensation in the hands and feet, psychological symptoms, and chilliness.sano-to (Senkin-Ho), painful disease, burning sensation in the hands and feet, psychological symptom, chillness
We experienced four cases of urticaria (two patients with cholinergic urticaria, one patient with chronic idiopathic urticaria and one patient with cold urticaria) successfully treated with Kampo therapy. The factors for outbreak or aggravation of urticaria were stress of looking after the father in law and hysterectomy in the first case, psychological stress due to familial trouble in the second case, panic disorder like episode in the third case, and solicitude and anxiety for family in the fourth case. The effective Kampo formulae that improved the dermatological symptom were keishibukuryogan, hangekobokuto, yokukansankachimpihange and kamishoyosan, respectively. It was helpful that to clarify the psychological background affecting the dermatological symptom in the determination of Kampo formulae. It would be useful that careful and repetitious question and answer about psychological background in the treatment of intractable urticaria. chronic urticaria, question and answer, psychological background
The source of reitakutsukito, which has been described in only one case, is the text "Ranshitsu-hizo." We recently experienced a 65-year old male suffering from refractory chronic headache for forty years, and a 38-year old female suffering from bronchial asthma resistant to tokishigyakukagoshuyushokyoto, whose symptoms were successfully treated with reitakutsukito by adding shin'i which has the action of dispersing pathogenic wind factor and opening orifice. Although reduction of underlying disease was not obtained, we also experienced clear improvement of oxygen saturation peripherally, and the subjective symptoms of a 40-year old male suffering from bronchial amyloidosis with reitakutsukitokashin'i. We report these three cases including documented considerations.reitakutsukito, reitakutsukitokashin'i, chronic headache, bronchial asthma, bronchial amyloidosis
