Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM) on climacteric syndrome. And we wanted that climateric symptoms were measured objectively and diagnosed definitely using climacteric index. Methods: Two patients complained climacteric symptoms. We treated them by TKM, and evaluated the progress of symptoms by Kupperman's index. And then We compared climacteric symptoms before treatment with one after treatment by Kupperman's index. Results: After TKM treatment, the climacteric symptoms were improved and mean score of K upperman's index was reduced (one reduces from 77 to 53, the other reduces from 65 to 25). Conculsion: TKM treatment is effective on climacteric syndrome. And Kupperman's index would be valid to measure for treatment's effect of climacteric syndrome.
