ABSTRACT |
Objective: This study reports on the effects of CheonPae-hwan among asthma patients.
Method: This case study was conducted with two asthma patients who had visited a traditional Korean medicine clinic. CheonPae-hwan was prescribed to the two patients; we then evaluated the objective symptom changes through forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1). Dyspnea-subjective symptom change was evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS).
Results: In case 1, FVC increased from 2.24 to 2.55 after treatment, FEV1 increased from 1.86 to 1.99, and VAS decreased from 2 to 0. In case 2, FVC increased from 1.51 to 2.79 after treatment, FEV1 increased from 1.12 to 2.22, and VAS decreased from 8 to 5.
Conclusion: CheonPae-hwan appeared to be effective for treating the two asthma patients in our study. |
