Abstract

Kyo-kyo-kuman has not been analyzed with modern medicine methods. We hypothesize that Kyo-kyo-kuman reflects the severity of somatization symptoms. Thus we investigated the correlation of Kyo-kyo-kuman with somatization symptoms, using Keio's Kyo-kyo-kuman scale (K-scale) and the Screener for Somatoform Disorders (SSD). One hundred and fifty patients (38 males, 112 females, mean age 40.69±17.56 years) were evaluated for their Kyo-kyo-kuman levels, using the K-scale and the number of somatization symptoms according to the SSD. On the right, the K-scale scores correlated significantly with the number of present somatization symptoms (R=0.440, p<0.0001) and the number of somatization symptoms within one year (R=0.476, p<0.0001). On the left, the K-scale scores correlated significantly with the number of somatization symptoms lasting for more than three months (R=0.450, p<0.0001), the number of present somatization symptom (R=0.597, p<0.0001) and the number of somatization symptoms within one year (R=0.586, p<0.0001).<br>In conclusion, patients having Kyo-kyo-kuman tended to complain of many kinds of somatization symptoms. We suggest that Kyo-kyo-kuman correlates well with these symptoms.
