Methods : In this study, ten chronic pulmonary disease patients were treated with Jungchunghwadam-tang. Peak expiratory flow were obtained by peak flow meter.
Result: After the treatment, peak expiratory flow was increased significantly compared with before treatment. Percentage of predict peak expiratory flow was also increased significantly compared with before treatment.
Conclusion: The result of this study demonstrate that Jungchunghwadam-tang taken for dyspnea on chronic pulmonary disease are effective. Further investigation in well designed follow up study is needed. |
