Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the long-term efficacy of herbal medicine for treatment of patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). Methods: We reviewed the clinical records of 17 patients with RAS who visited the Oral Diseases Clinic of Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital from September 1st, 2014 to August 29th, 2017. The patients were treated with herbal medicine for more than 3 consecutive weeks, followed by a telephone survey. We evaluated the clinical characteristics of RAS, and compared the short-term and long-term efficacy of herbal medicine treatment. Results: After treatment with herbal medicine, the clinical characteristics improved in the 17 patients with RAS, especially in terms of the duration and interval of recurrence. Prolonged effects were reported upon the follow-up telephone survey. Conclusion: Herbal medicine treatment may have a long-term effect in patients with RAS.
