Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Oriental medical treatment on a patient with Crohn's disease. Methods : The patient was treated with acupuncture, herb remedy and moxibustion for about 2 weeks. We evaluated the results of the treatment by observing the patient's symptoms and through the Crohn's disease activity index(CDAI) score. Results : After Oriental medical treatment the patient's symptoms such as emesis, heartburn and abdominal pain considerably reduced. The patients CDAI score decreased from 190.8 to 134.2. Conclusions : These results support that Oriental medical treatment can be a help in relieving symptoms of Crohn's disease.
