This clinical study describes the effect of Korean medicine as a treatment for early dumping syndrome. The patient was treated with herbal medicine (Sogeonjung-tang and Jeongjeon-gami-ijin-tang), acupuncture, and moxibustion for 34 days. The degree of treatment was measured by the amount of oral intake and the number of vomiting incidents. During the treatment, the patient's symptoms were relieved and the amount of oral intake increased. At first, the patient vomited once or twice per day, and the amount of oral intake was about 600-700 cc. After the treatment, the patient did not vomit and oral intake increased about two fold. This clinical case study shows the positive effect of herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion on relief of symptoms of early dumping syndrome.
