ABSTRACT |
Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the Efficacy of Gamiyukmijihwang-tang on Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis.
Methods : We surveyed 10 recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients visited the oral diseases clinic in the Kyung Hee
University Oriental Medicine Hospital from September, 2011 to March, 2012. Before and 2 weeks after taking Gamiyukmijihwang-tang,
the subjects were evaluated on clinical characteristics of recurrent aphthous stomatitis, severity of pain using visual analogue
scale (VAS), quality of life about oral health (based on the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile-14) and yin-deficiency
condition (based on the 10-item Yin-deficiency Questionnaire). Then, 5 patients who had already finished treatment were
assessed about recurrence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis by telephone survey 6 weeks later.
Results: After 2 weeks taking Gamiyukmijihwang-tang, clinical characteristics of 10 patients of recurrent aphthous stomatitis
improved; their severity of pain, quality of life about oral health and yin-deficiency condition improved significantly. After 6
weeks, 3 of 5 patients who had already finished treatment didn't experience recurrence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. The
other 2 patients experienced a recurrence, but their clinical characteristics of recurrent aphthous stomatitis improved significantly.
Conclusions: Gamiyukmijihwang-tang is effective on recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Studies with a larger number of cases
and longer follow-up will be needed in the future. |
