Abstract

Introduction : We evaluated the efficacy of keishito and maobushisaishinto with reference to keikyososooshinbuto, for patients feeling cold, by means of multiple regression analysis.<br>Case reports : We reported a patient with an upset stomach whose severe coldness was improved as the stomach condition was cured by adding keishito to maobushisaishinto. Moreover, the combination of keishito and maobushisaishinto was effective for a patient feeling cold, with appetite loss, general fatigue and stiffness of the joints (case 1), a patient feeling cold, with chill, general fatigue, heavy feeling in the stomach, and prone to catch colds (case 2), and a patient feeling extremely cold, with general fatigue and menstrual pain (case 3).<br>Subjects and Methods : In this study, the subjects were 43 patients who reported feeling cold. They were treated with keishito and maobushisaishinto according to their Sho for more than one month. The relationships between the improvement of cold sensation and 52 other factors, such as symptoms noted at their first medical examination, were evaluated by means of multi-dimensional cross-sectional analysis. <BR>Results : The factors of chilly or unpleasant wind and coldness of the whole body were significant. <BR>Discussion : The factors of coldness in the whole body with chill, and headache without diarrhea were important for improvement of cold feeling with keishito and maobushisaishinto.
