Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to report the effects of Jaeumganghwa-tang (Ziyinjianghuo-tang) and Gyeongok-go on a patient with asthma. Methods: A 54-year-old female patient was treated with herbal medicine, including Jaeumganghwa-tang, Gyeongok-go, acupuncture, and moxibustion treatment. The effects of treatments were evaluated using the modified medical research council dyspnea scale (mMRC), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and Quality of Life Questionnaire for Adult Korean Asthmatics (QLQAKA). Results: Following treatment, the mMRC score decreased from 2 to 1, the SGRQ score decreased from 60.53 to 25.61, and the QLQAKA score increased from 44 to 72. In the SGRQ, symptom scores decreased from 70.67 to 57.49, activity scores from 36.22 to 25.96, and impact scores from 72.15 points to 15.44 points. In QLQAKA, symptom scores increased from 18 to 21, emotional scores from 7 to 13, environmental scores from 6 to 14, and activity scores from 13 to 24. Conclusion: The results suggest that Jaeumganghwa-tang and Gyeongok-go could be effective in treating patients with asthma.
