Abstract

Objectives: This study examined a clinical case of a paralytic ileus patient diagnosed with Soeumin. Methods: The patient was treated with herbal medicine (Hyangsayangwi-tang, Baekhaogunja-tang, Palmulgunja-tang), infusion solution treatments, acupuncture, moxibustion, and rehabilitative therapy. Their effects were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS). Results: After receiving Korean medical treatment for 38 days, the VAS score for dyspepsia was reduced from 8 to 2, the VAS score for nausea and vomiting was reduced from 8 to 2, and the VAS score for abdominal pain was reduced from 7 to less than 1. Conclusions: Korean medicine could be effective in relieving the symptoms of paralytic Ileus.
