Abstract:
Eight Chinese medical presriptions for bronchial asthma, listed in the official documents from the Japanese Ministry of Health & Welfare and 23 prescriptions for bronchial asthma, listed in Japanese “Kanpo” books, are analised using multidimentional scaling analysis and cluster analysis.
As for the 8 officially listed prescriptions, a good configration was obtained with quadratic form. But their constructions were considered to be biased slightly to the attack period of bronchial ashtma.
And the 23 other prescriptions were roughly classified to 6 groups. From the practical view of the padents who visit Chinese medical clinics, these 23 Prescriptions also have reasons for exlstence.
The indications mentioned in the official publication should be reconsidered.
