Description
Modern Western medicine made rapid progress in the last century. The theory of modern Western medicine attaches importance to universality, objectivity, and logic. Consequently, Western physicians favor a body-oriented approach to the human being, and sometimes place a minimal value on the mental status and quality of life (QOL) of patients. In Oriental (Kampo) medicine, the human being is regarded as an entity consisting of body, soul and spirit, and patient complaints are usually highly valued. The development of new medicine that harmonizes both medicines is now required. In this article, initially the efficacy and limitations of each style of medicine in patients with influenza, Sjögren syndrome, chronic renal failure, chronic C hepatitis, and atherosclerosis are discussed, and the potential benefit from combining these disciplines to form new medicine was outlined. Secondly, N-of-1 design and double blind study after selection of patients by Kampo diagnosis, “Sho”, are proposed as methods for evaluating the efficacy of Kampo medicine.
