Abstract:
A Kampo formula which had been formulated for its pharmacological effect was administered to 44 out-patients for approximately three years.
Including cases which did not complete the program, the formula proved to be remarkably effective in 39% of the cases, effective in 36% of the cases and somewhat effective in 20% of the cases. Thus, the percent of cases for which this treatment was considered somewhat effective or better was 95%. Although traditional Kampo diagnosis was not used, and all of the cases were given the same formula with only minor adjustments being made for variations in complaints, very high treatment effectiveness was achieved.
