“…Previous studies on PP have mainly focused on the effectiveness of GnRHa and herbal medicines [ 13 , 14 , 18 , 19 ], psychological characteristics of patients (not their caregivers) [ 20 ], and causes of PP [ 1 ]. Most studies on the caregivers of patients with PP have focused on the stress level and quality of life among caregivers [ 21 ].…”

This study aims to provide the basis for developing complementary and alternative treatment approaches for precocious puberty (PP) by examining caregivers’ awareness, along with their preferences and expectations from various treatments. It included data collected between July 2019 and March 2020, from 175 caregivers of children who were undergoing or had undergone treatment for PP. The questionnaire comprised 53 questions on the awareness, acquisition of information, perceptions of treatments, and concerns about PP, as well as awareness of habit management (HM) and children’s actual habits. The collected data were analysed using the Chi-square test, t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance. The caregivers responded that PP could be recognized on the basis of breast development (79.8%) in girls and hair and body odor (73.1%) in boys. However, 86.9% of respondents were getting inaccurate information from the Internet. With respect to PP treatment approaches, 16% of respondents hoped to manage PP through conventional treatment (CT), 21.1% preferred traditional Korean medicine (TKM), and 62.3% preferred HM. Expectations of the effectiveness were highest in HM, followed by CT and TKM. Only the TKM group had statistically significant higher expectations than the nontreatment experience group (F = 4.566, p = 0.004 ). The caregivers were concerned about the side effects and high costs of CT. Around 43% of respondents had difficulties with the management of their children’s diet, 64.6% with exercise, and 57.1% with smart device usage. Clinicians should be aware of caregivers’ information acquisition patterns, preferences and expectations of various treatments, and their concerns. Considering these results, clinicians should try to establish more appropriate treatment plans for children with PP.

“…However, some patients were hesitant about GnRH treatment for adverse effects 7,8) . Several researches reported that herbal medicine prescribed for those children suffering from PP has a certain effect on their symptoms 9,10) . However, reports are problematic in that there were no peak-LHL evaluation and made a simple comparison with breast buds or estradiol values of before and after taking the medicine.…”

The purpose of this report is to evaluate effect of Korean medical treatment on idiopathic gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty (G-DPP) patient received herbal medicine. We administered Aesopjiyoun-tang remedy to idiopathic G-DPP and analyzed the delay effect by hormonal value and radiographs; the height growth effect by measurement of height. After Korean medical treatment, suppression effect to peak-Luteinizing Hormone level (LHL) is 14.39IU/L to 10.9IU/L for 13month, growth effect to height value is 11cm/13month; and change of mean growth velocity (MGV) is 6.08cm/year to 10.06cm/year. The gain in height by treatment is 3.98cm/year. The result suggests Aesopjiyoun-tang can be an effective treatment for G-DPP. Herbal medicine can be used as an alternative treatment in place of the GnRH treatment.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the characteristics of the autonomic innervation of the heart in Precocious Puberty (PP) Girls.Methods: We studied 87 girls visiting Dongshin University Suncheon Oriental Medicine hospital from first Januarty 2013 to 31th December 2015. Among the 87 girls who were selected 14 people under the age of 8. The subjects were categorized in two groups, 2 PP girls and 12 healthy controls. We studied the difference of Heart rate variability (HRV) between two groups by Independent samples T-test using SPSS for windows (version 22.0).Results: The Standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals (SDNN), The spuare root of the sum of the spuare of difference between adjacent normal R-R intervals (RMS-SD) of PP group was non-significantly lower than non-PP group.Total power (TP), Very low frequency power (VLF), High frequency power (HF), Low frequency power (LF) of PP group was non-significantly lower than non-PP group, LF/HF ratio of PP group was significantly higher than non-PP group.Normalized high frequency power (HF norm) of PP group was non-significantly lower than non-PP group. Normalized low frequency power (LF norm) of PP was non-signficantly higher than non-PP group.Conclusion: The results suggest that imbalance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system from girls of precocious puberty can be seen.
