“…One of the famous herbal formulations, BANXIA HOUPO TANG was reported to improve swallowing reflex and increase salivary substance P level, which is known to regulate swallowing reflex, in patients with dysphagia after stroke (Iwasaki et al, 2002). A very similar study to ours was Seki et al (2003) work.…”

SUMMARYThis study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of moxibustion on dysphagia after stroke. We conducted his study in the Department of Cardiovascular and Neurologic Diseases (Stroke Center), Hospital of Oriental Medicine, Kyung Hee Medical Center, from May 1, 2005 to August 1, 2006. After recruiting dysphagia patients after stroke, we applied the Direct Moxibustion (1.2 × 1.4 cm) to the Chon-Jung acupoint 5 times, and assessed its effect on swallowing reflex by Swallowing Provocation Test (SPT) before and 30 min after treatment. Effectiveness of the swallowing reflex was assessed by the Latency Time of Swallowing Reflex (LTSR) which was checked from test starting to the onset of swallowing reflex. Thirty four subjects with dysphagia were treated with moxibustion. The mean of the latency time in swallowing reflex was shortened from 2.2 ± 0.9 to 1.5 ± 0.5 seconds after moxibustion, which had statistical significance (P < 0.001). We suggest that moxibustion at Chon-Jung could be useful for dysphagia after stroke. Further study with a randomized controlled trial compared to placebo is needed to confirm this suggestion.

“…There are some evidences reporting that oriental medical treatments are helpful for cough or swallowing reflex in post stroke patients (Seki et al, 1992;Iwasaki et al, 2002). In the traditional oriental medical book, named "Zhen-Jiu-Da-Cheng", moxibustion at T'an-Chung (CV17) could be helpful for swallowing difficulty (Yang, 1992).…”

“…The physical and psychological conditions of the patients are evaluated as having 'Jitsu-sho' and 'Kyo-sho'. Hangekobokuto has been evaluated as more effective in patients with 'Kyo-sho', low body mass index and a depressive mood disorder (13,14). In the present study, however, it did not appear that the efficacy of hangekobokuto was obtained in such patients.…”

Abstract. The sensation of a lump in the throat (SLT) is not a rarely encountered symptom. The etiology of SLT appears to be multifactorial, and the psychological characteristics, stress and pressure of a psychiatric disorder may be significant factors in SLT. Hangekobokuto, one of the traditional herbal medicines, is a known drug that has an effect on SLT. The efficacy of a short-term hangekobokuto treatment on SLT was evaluated. To assess whether a 2-week prescription of hangekobokuto improves SLT mainly in patients with respiratory diseases, a retrospective study was performed between April 2013 and August 2015. During the study period, a total of 43 patients were treated with hangekobokuto. Twelve (27.9%) of the 43 patients were reported to experience completely effective treatment (SLT completely disappeared), and 14 (32.6%) experienced moderately effective treatment (25-99% SLT disappeared). Patients with bronchial asthma and those without a medical history of respiratory disease exhibited a good response to hangekobokuto. No specific predictive factor of the response to hangekobokuto on SLT was identified in the multivariate regression analysis. Therefore, the present results suggested that hangekobokuto could be one of the treatment choices for uncontrolled SLT.

“…There are a few reports concerning the study of the effects of traditional Chinese medicine in post-stroke patients. The effects on aspiration pneumonia [16] and cognitive function [17,18] of post-stroke patients for the short term were reported. Of course, maintaining function and ability, and prolonging the period of social life are also of major importance.…”

In post-stroke patients, the recurrence of stroke and progression of impairments lead to a bedridden state and dementia. As for their treatments, only anti-hypertension and anti-coagulation therapies to prevent the recurrence of stroke are available. In Asia, post-stroke patients with impairments are often treated with herbal medicine. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of tokishakuyakusan (TS) in improving the impairment and independence in post-stroke patients. Thirty-one post-stroke patients (mean age = 81.4 years) were recruited and enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to the TS group (n = 16) or nontreatment (control) group (n = 15) and treated for 12 months. Impairments were assessed using the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (SIAS). Independence was evaluated using the functional independence measure (FIM). For each outcome measure, mean change was calculated every 3 months. The results were that impairments according to SIAS did not significantly change in the TS group. In contrast, SIAS significantly worsened in the control group. There was a significant difference between the two groups. In each term of SIAS, affected lower extremity scores, abdominal muscle strength, function of visuospatial perception, and so forth. in the TS group were better than those in the control group. Independence according to FIM did not change significantly in the TS group. In contrast, FIM significantly worsened in the control group. There was also a significant difference between the two groups. In conclusion, TS was considered to suppress the impairments of lower limbs and to exert a favorable effect on cerebral function for post-stroke patients.
