Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this case report was to present the effects of Korean medicine treatment in a patient with functional abdominal pain. Methods: A 24-year-old female patient was treated with Sogeonjung-tang and Gammaekdaejo-tang extract granules with acupuncture therapy. Abdominal pain and soreness were assessed daily with a numeric rating scale (NRS) Results: With 7 days of treatment, abdominal pain was relieved from NRS 7 to NRS 3. By the 6th day of treatment, abdominal soreness had disappeared. Conclusion: These results show that functional abdominal pain can be relieved with Korean medicine treatment. However, further well-designed studies are required to confirm these findings.
