Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of symptom improvement in patients who were treated with Sik-jeok. Methods : We investigated 31 patients who were treated with the prescription of Sik-jeok had hospitalized to hospital in M Korean medicine hospital in Gimpo city, Gyeonggi Province from January 4th, 2016 to September 10th, 2016. We evaluated the change of them by using Martins AN. Results : Prescription of Sik-jeok tend to be administered in a shorter period of time than the total length of hospitalization. We can make a hypothesis that the longer the prescription of Sik-jeok period, the more likely it would be better results, but it could not be used statistically. Pyeongwisan gagam and Jungritang is possible to expect a better score compared to other prescriptions of Sik-jeok, but it was not statistically effective. Conclusions : These outcomes suggest the need of In-depth consideration about prescription of Sik-jeok and development of medication scale associated with prescription of Sik-jeok.
