Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on postmenopausal syndrome. Methods: The patient with postmenopausal syndrome with palpitation was treated with Korean medicine treatment during 14 days of hospitalization. The patient received Korean medicine treatment including herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. The effect of treatment on postmenopausal syndrome was evaluated through the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and questionnaire. Palpitation and arrhythmia was evaluated by Electrocardiogram (ECG) and manual pulse diagnosis three times a day. Result: After the treatment, the clinical postmenopausal symptoms of palpitation and hot flush were improved. Also, ECG's result was improved ventricular premature contraction to normal ECG. Conclusions: This case report proved that the Korean medicine treatment may be effective for improving postmenopausal syndrome with palpitation and hot flush. However, further clinical study is needed in the future to prove the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment for postmenopausal syndrome with palpitation and hot flush.
