Abstract

Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and herbal medicine in patients who had hvpoactivity of the gastric vagus nerve and pyloric valve disturbance simultaneously with function dyspepsia by bowel sounds analysis. Methods : Bowel sounds of 10 patients (male 1, female 9) were recorded and their % of bowel sound (%BS) and ratio of dominant frequency (DF) were analyzed before and after treatment. Hypoactivity of the gastric vagus nerve was considered if % BS was <6%. and pyloric valve disturbance was accepted if DF ratio (e.g.. postprandial DF/fasting DF) was <1. Electroacupuncture at Zusanli (ST36, 3Hz, 30 minutes) and manual acupuncture at other meridian points were applied daily for 2 weeks. Herbal medicine, Pyengwi-san. was administered to all patients (100cc, 3 times/day). Results : DF ratio significantly increased from $0.93\pm0.06$ to $1.06\pm0.04$ after treatment for 2 weeks (p=0.005). 9 of 10 patients were improved to DF ratio>1. %BS also increased from $2.97\pm1.17%$ to $4.49\pm4.27%$. not significantly. 3 patients showed a remarkable elevation, and their %BS reached >6% of normal value. Conclusions : Combined effect of electroacupuncture at Zusanli (ST36), manual acupuncture. and Pyengwi-san was shown effective in the improvement of pyloric valve disturbance more than hypoactivity of gastric vagus nerve on patients with functional dyspepsia.

목 적 : 위 미주신경 활성 저하와 유문부 기능 장애를 동시에 가지고 있는 기능성 소화불량증 환자에서 전침 및 한약의 복합처치 치료가 이 두가지 면에서 각각 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 방 법 : 장음검사상 위 미주신경 활성 저하와 유문부 기능 장애를 동시에 가지고 있는 환자 10명을 대상으로 치료 전후의 장음 지표 변화를 비교하였다. 장음지표는 % of bowel sound (%BS)와 주 주파수(dominant frequency, DF)를 사용하였으며, %BS(6인 경우를 위 미주신경 활성저하 DF ratio(식후/식 전)<1를 유문부 기능장애로 평가하였다. 환자들에게 2주간 족삼리전 침과 체침이 매일 시술되었으며 평위산 전탕액이 하루 3회 투여되었다. 결 과 : 2주간의 치료 후 DF ratio는 $0.93\pm0.06$에서 $1.06\pm0.04$으로 유의성있게 증가했으며, 10명 중 9명의 환자가 DF ratio>1의 정상치로 회복되었다. %BS 역시 $2.97\pm1.17%$에서 4.27%로 증가했지만 통계적 유의성은 없었으며, 3명의 환자에서 %BS가 6이상으로 정상회복되었다. 결 론 : 위 미주신경 활성 저하와 유문부 기능 장애를 동시에 가지고 있는 기능성 소화불량증 환자에 대한 족삼리 전침과 일반 체침, 평위산의 치료는 미주신경 활성 저하보다는 유문부 기능 장애에 더 유의한 효과를 보였다.
