혈구삼화탕 투약 후 복부팽만이 호전된 기능성 소화불량 환자 증례보고 = A Case Report of Improvement in Abdominal Distension in a Patient with Functional Dyspepsia Using Hyeolgusamhwa-tang

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective: The aim of this case report was to describe the effect of Hyeolgusamhwa-tang (絜矩三和湯) on abdominal distension caused by Qi (氣脹) in a patient with functional dyspepsia.
Methods: A female Korean patient was treated with Hyeolgusamhwa-tang and acupuncture for 14 days. We observed objective symptoms, such as bloating, nausea, belching, loss of appetite, and heartburn, and we also measured her abdominal circumference.
Results: After treatment, her abdominal circumference was decreased from 87 cm to 83.5 cm, and her food intake was improved from the baseline. The other objective symptoms, like general weakness, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort, and heartburn, were improved or disappeared without any adverse events reported. However, we could not find any significant differences for some symptoms, such as nausea.
Conclusions: This case suggests that Hyeolgusamhwa-tang and acupuncture therapy could be effective in reducing functional distension in patients diagnosed with distension caused by Qi (氣脹).
