Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Seonpyejeongcheon-tang (SJT) for chronic cough. Materials and Methods: Thirty-one patients with chronic cough who had treated with SJT between September 2010 and October 2011 were analyzed. We estimated the effectiveness of the treatment by Borg Cough Scale (BCS). Results: Mean period of cough duration was $15.19{\pm}8.70$ and mean period of treatment was $7.58{\pm}2.55$. SJT treatment significantly decreased the score of BCS from $6.32{\pm}1.30$ to $1.84{\pm}0.97$ (p<0.001). Disappearance rate of cough was 32% after SJT treatment. Conclusion: SJT seems to be effective in the treatment of chronic cough. Further studies are recommended to confirm this effect.
