Abstract

<p>Case 1 : A 56-year-old woman had been suffering from insomnia for 10 years, and multiple joint pains on her shoulders, wrists and fingers for 2 years. She complained of headache, dizziness, heart palpitations, and irritable bowel syndromes. Case 2 : A 72-year-old woman presented with cold and painful feeling in her legs that she had had for 10 years, as well as insomnia, excessive sweating, alopecia and pollakiuria that she had had for two years. In both cases, organic diseases of the joints or muscles were ruled out by several doctors, and the patients had been suffering from malaise and insomnia for which they had been taking brotizolam for several years. Consequently, the patients consulted our department of traditional Japanese medicine (Kampo). Medical interviews revealed that they had been under a lot of stress for a long time because of family problems. Sansoninto (roasted Zizyphi spinosa semen 15 g, Poria 3 g, Cnidii Rhizoma 3 g, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma 3 g,Glycyrrhizae Radix 1.5 g) was prescribed, which reduced the pain in their joints and muscles, and their other complaints, in several weeks. Sansoninto seemed not to alleviate insomnia as effectively as it did the pain and other multi complaints, because the patients were not able to discontinue brotizolam. Patients with multiple complaints including insomnia with fatigue induced by long-term stressful lifestyle may sometimes possibly express non-organic joint or muscle pain. Sansoninto may be an effective prescription for non-organic joint and muscle pain.</p>
