“…In such cases, a traditional tonifying formula, bojoongikgitang (hochuekkito in Japanese), has been used effectively. In a case series, bojoongikgitang was administered to six patients with VRE colonization, and the quarantine was reduced to a shorter period than that previously reported without treatment (45 vs 204–230 days) [57].…”

Background: Although various new drugs have been developed for neurological diseases, many diseases have no effective treatment or only inadequate efficacy. Here we introduce some examples of effective Kampo treatment. Key Findings: (1) Parasomnia in the elderly is preceded by the onset of diffuse Lewy body disease, with symptoms such as nightmares and loud screaming in the middle of the night. Keishikaryukotsuboreito (KSTRB), indicated in the classics for treating parasomnia, was effective in alleviating the symptoms. KSTRB is also used for enuresis that persists into adulthood.(2) Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs), treated by hematoma removal with burr-hole surgery, recur at a rate of up to 20%. Goreisan (GRS) reduces hematoma volume and prevents postoperative CSDH recurrence. Homogeneous CSDH was most responsive to GRS in preventing recurrence. (3) Migraine frequently interferes with daily life. Keishibukuryogan (KBG), which alleviates blood stasis, was effective for patients with both menstruation-associated migraine and scintillating scotomas. (4) Many traditional herbal medicines are listed in the Korean Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline for Stroke in Korea. Chunghyuldan, a related formula of Orengedokuto (OGT), is mainly used to prevent stroke. Conclusion: Kampo medicine is being applied in new and effective ways to treat various neurological diseases. Hopefully, more clinicians will recognize the usefulness of such Kampo medicines and utilize them in their daily practice.

Hospital-acquired bacterial infections, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) infection (MIC: 32 mcg/ml), are common. We describe the case of a 63-year-old female patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage and VRE infection treated with Jashin-bowon-tang and Samhuang-sashim-tang for 57 days and 22 days, respectively. The therapeutic effect was assessed weekly via culture, color and viscosity of pus from a coccyx sore, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Vital signs were checked four times a day. Seventeen days after treatment, VRE was not colonized in patient and color and viscosity of pus, CRP and vital sign were improved. This case report suggests that Jashin-bowon-tang and Samhuang-sashim-tang might be an alternative option for VRE infection patients reducing the need for extended isolation periods and speeding up recovery times.
