Abstract:
Ogikeishigomotsuto is a Kampo formula used for numbness or body pains. We experienced 29 cases in which attending physicians believed the drug would be effective. In 18 cases the drug was effective and in 11 cases it was not. We analyzed the difference in subjective symptoms between the responder group and the non-responder group. We concluded that some symptoms could be indicators for choosing the formula. Hypersensitivity to cold and heaviness of the whole body has previously been reported in many articles. In our cases, we observed a high incidence and specificity of the symptoms reported above, as well as arthralgia, dry skin and irritability in the responder group compared to the non-responder group. We believe these newly detected subjective symptoms can also be indicators for choosing Ogikeishigomotsuto.
