Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the efficacy of using oriental medical treatment with Melonix Calyx Vomiting Therapy for Cholinergic urticaria patient. Methods : We experienced one case of Cholinergic urticaria patient treated with oriental medical treatment and Melonix Calyx Vomiting Therapy(MCVT). MCVT is traditional treatment, which induces vomiting by eating Melonix Calyx powder with water. To evaluate the results of this treatment, we measured the decrease of pruritus, number of wheals, redness. Decrease of pruritus, number of wheals was assessed by Urticaria Activity Score(UAS) and quality of life was assessed by Chronic urticaria quality of life questionnaire(CU-Q2oL). Results : UAS decreased from 6 to 0, and severity score of redness decreased from 3 to 0. CU-Q2oL score decreased from 78 to 23. Conclusions : This study suggests that using MCVT with oriental medical treatment is effective on Cholinergic urticaria.

Urticaria is a common dermatopathy, coming under “eun-jin(隱疹)” in Korean herbal medicine. Headache and vertigo is a very common diseases in life. There are so many causes which induce uticaria, headache and vertigo. We experienced 31-year old woman case suffering from chronic urticaria, headache, vertigo with digestive disorder, nausea. We diagnosed those symptoms as dameum(痰飮). So we administered Jeongjeongamiyijintang-gamibang(正傳加味二陳湯加味方) to the urticaria, and Banhabaekchulcheonma-tang (半夏白朮天麻湯) to the headache, vertigo. They are both famous herbal medicines for treating dameum-related symptoms, because both of them contains Yijin-tang(二陳湯) which is the main Herbal medicine for dameum(痰飮).

Urticaria is a common dermatopathy, coming under "eun-jin(隱疹) in Korean Oriental medicine. We researched sixty-two patients of urticaria who had visited the Dept of Dermatology Oriental medical hospital Dongeui universty from January 2002 to April 2004 and had taken the Oriental herb medicine as Sungmagalguntanggamibang (SGT, 升摩葛根湯加味方) for verification of voluntariness of Korean Oriental medical treatment. In our time, urticaria is tending upwards, consequently the air pollution by industrialization, patronizing of convenience food by simplification of dietary life, stress and an abuse of medicine. Especially in case of chronic urticaria we're under going hardships in elimination of it's symptoms, because it's prognosis is inferior. We inspect the effects of SGT from various viewpoints and meet with following results. Results: 1. AS amount of taking the SGT increase, the effect in taking SGT period and the condition of present time become more satisfactory. 2. As continuous Time of urticaria decrease, the effect in taking SGT period become more satisfactory. 3. Etiology of urticaria is classified into the deficiency both of qi-blood(氣血兩虛), the moisture-heat of spleen-stomach(脾胃濕熱), the heat of blood(血熱), The wind-cold(風寒), The wind-heat(風熱), spleen-stomach accumulated heat(腸胃實熱) ect. The SGT is available in this order. 4. The effect in taking SGT period connects the quality of life of after treatment and the quality of life of after treatment is improved comparing with that of before treatment. The above results demonstrate that SGT effectively suppresses recurrent, pruitus and erythematous urticaria.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to find out whether there were differences of urticaria's disease aspect between patients classified into Sasang Constitution Types(SCTs) and whether those differences could be associated with Ordinary symptoms. Methods Medical records and questionnaires about 117 patients who visited one Korean medicine hospital due to urticaria were collated and statistically analyzed. Results 1) Ages 20 to 30, women, Soeumin(SE) and patients in conditions of chronic urticaria over 6 weeks were the majority among 117 patients in this study. Food and stress were most chosen as the main cause of urticaria. 2) Soyangin(SY) showed more severe symptoms of urticaria than other SCTs. In particular, the severity of pruritus, distribution of lesions and vulnerability to stress was statistically significant compared to other SCTs(p<0.05). SE expressed urticaria's symptoms at the medium-level of SY's and Taeeumin(TE)'s. TE exhibited relatively weak symptoms but TE only had slightly higher number of patients with angioedema compared to other SCTs. Taeyangin(TY) was only one case so more researches are needed. 3) In dispositional symptoms, SY had low quality of sleep and defecation. SE could not digest oily food well, felt dizzy and cold well, and had cold hands and feet. TE could eat and sweat much and tended to snore well. Conclusions In this study, urticaria had common cause of both stress and food in all SCTs but onset and severity of symptoms were different between SCTs. It could interpreted that these differences between SCTs were associated with ordinary symptoms native to each SCT.

Although rare, antihistamines can cause adverse effects, including drug-induced eruptions or anaphylaxis. A 4-year-old child visited the pediatric department of a hospital for skin eruptions after administration of antihistamines, (e.g., ucerax [hydroxyzine] or leptizine [levocetirizine]), for cholinergic rashes; he did not have pruritus. Skin prick, intradermal, and drug provocation tests were performed to determine the relationship between the antihistamines and eruptions. Levocetirizine induced wheals in the skin prick test and a rash in the oral drug provocation test. In contrast, ketotifen induced no reaction in the skin prick test but showed a positive reaction in the oral provocation test. Our case report highlights that children can experience the same types of adverse reactions as seen in adults, and cross-reactivity between various antihistamines can occur.

Objectives: This study was designed to assess traditional Korean medical therapy for urticaria and establish a clinical assessment guideline. Methods: Duration of symptoms, personal and family history of allergic diseases, serum IgE level, suspected causes and Provocation factors were investigated in 56 patients. Frequency of wheals, duration of wheals, number of wheals, itch severity and antihistamine counts on a 6-point (0-5) scale were assessed in 34 patients. The change of total scores and each criterion between baseline and follow up were analyzed using paired t-test (p<0.05). Results: 1. Acute urticaria within 6 weeks was $26.8\%$ and chronic urticaria over 6 weeks was $73.2\%$. The mean duration of symptoms was $19.2\pm38.8$ months. 2. $57.1\%$ of patients had a personal history of allergic diseases and $50\%$had a family history. $29.1\%$ had over 200 IU/mL serum IgE level. 3. The suspected causes were none $(39.3\%)$, foods $(32.1\%)$, drugs $(12.5\%)$, contact $(5.4\%)$ and maternity$(5.4\%)$. 4. The suspected provocation factors were foods $(41.1\%)$, none $(26.8\%)$, fatigue $(12.5\%)$, heat and sweating $(12.5\%)$, pressure $(10,7\%)$ and stress $(7.1\%)$. 5. The total scores between baseline and follow up of 34 patients were lowered from $15.38^{\circ}\;{\ae}3.75\;to\;8.82^{\circ}\;{\ae}5.21$, which was significant statistically (p=0.000). 6. Itch severity, frequency of wheals and number of wheals were the most significantly lowered of all criteria. Conclusions: Traditional Korean medical therapy was proven to be effective for urticaria, while itch severity, frequency of wheals and number of wheals should be assessed clinically with greater priority.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the using trends of UAS7 over the last 5 years to analyze patients using UAS7 in a single Korean medicine hospital and to understand and suggest the actual status of application in clinical research. Methods : PubMed, RISS and OASIS were used to search clinical research papers related to chronic urticaria in the last 5 years. The adherence of UAS7 was assessed based on medical records in a single Korean medical hospital for 4 weeks. Results : Total 536 articles were selected, and 401(74.8%) articles used the assessment tool. UAS7 has been most commonly used assessment tool to evaluate the severity of chronic urticaria and DLQI has been most commonly used to evaluate the quality of life. The usage rate of UAS7 increased from 50% in 2016 to 85% in 2020. There were a total of 10 articles in traditional medicine research, of which 9 assessment tools were used and 4 articles used UAS7. To analyze adherence of UAS7, a total of 15 patients were selected. 6 patients (40%) did not record any value, and only 2 patients(13%) showed more than 80% adherence. Conclusions : UAS7 is most commonly used assessment tool in clinical research currently. However, since patient record adherence tends to be poor, it is needed to find ways increasing the UAS7 record adherence.
