Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this case study is to report clinical effectiveness of the Boheo-tang-gagambang with acupuncture, moxa and physiotherapy treatments on the after-effects of myomectomy or hysterectomy. Methods: The subjects of this study were five women who were diagnosed with uterine myoma and underwent myomectomy or hysterectomy. They mainly complained of lower abdominal pain, back pain, and pelvic pain. They received combination treatment of Korean medicine and physiotherapy. The Korean medicine included Boheo-tang-gagambang, acupuncture and moxa. The effects were evaluated through Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results: In this study, patient's clinical symptoms, including lower abdominal pain, low back pain, and pelvic pain, improved after hospitalization treatment. Conclusions: This case report shows that the combination treatment of Korean medicine with Boheo-tang-gagambang, acupuncture and moxa may be effective for treating after-effects of myomectomy or hysterectomy.
