<p>Aim: Makyoyokukanto (MKYK) is a traditional Japanese medicine used for relieving arthralgia, neuralgia, and myalgia. However, the effectiveness and safety of MKYK remains unclear. In this study, we assessed the effectiveness of MKYK in patients with painful afflictions.</p><p>Methods: One hundred and sixty-three patients (42 men and 121 women) with painful afflictions were recruited into the study. All participants were treated using non-invasive methods and administered MKYK. The effectiveness of MKYK was assessed following administration by evaluating the need for NSAIDs or other medication. In addition, adverse reactions were monitored.</p><p>Results: 85.9% of the patients were effectively treated with MKYK. Comorbidities were present in 52.8% of the study participants. The median duration of MKYK treatment was 14 days (2–364 days). The adverse event rate was 1.2%. The adverse events were insomnia caused by Ephedra herb and pseudoaldosteronism by Glycyrrhiza root. All symptoms improved after MKYK withdrawal.</p><p>Conclusion: The adverse event rate associated with MKYK use was low, and its onset was relatively rapid. This adverse event rate can be further reduced by focusing on the pharmacological action of Ephedra herb and Glycyrrhiza root. This study suggests that MKYK can be used more widely for painful afflictions.</p>

<p>【Purpose】 This study aims to clarify and compare the usage of the term “triage" in academic research in Japan to facilitate interdisciplinary discussion. 【Method】 We undertook a scoping review of academic literature on medicine, sociology, law, and ethics in Japanese, including “triage" and covering publications from 1990 to 2023. 【Results】 In total, 438 documents were reviewed. We found that triage is used in multiple ways while sharing the core element of `prioritizing someone or something' and can be discussed from at least seven perspectives. In the medical field, there was a tendency to discuss triage after clearly defining the situations where it is carried out, but there was a marked difference between disaster medicine and emergency medicine in whether or not the black or deceased/expectant category was considered. In the non-medical fields, various aspects of triage were discussed across different articles, even within the same discipline. This caused multiple interpretations of triage to coexist. 【Conclusion】 It is necessary to specify definitions and contexts of triage to facilitate discussion among different academic backgrounds.</p>

<p>Purpose: Few studies have investigated the treatment outcomes and adverse events after using jidabokuippo (JDI), including the concomitant use of Kampo prescriptions and analgesics. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of JDI in real-world clinical practice.</p><p>Methods: The study included 306 patients who were treated with JDI. Treatment outcomes and adverse events were compared according to age, sex, presence or absence of comorbidities, concomitant use of Kampo prescriptions and analgesics, daily dose of JDI, duration of administration, and the starting time of administration. The patients were divided into two groups: effective and ineffective.</p><p>Results: Concomitant use of Kampo prescriptions and analgesics was observed in 14.1% and 58.2% of the patients, respectively. The efficacy rate of JDI was 97.7%. The duration of JDI treatment in the analgesic group was significantly longer than that in the non-analgesic group (<i>p</i> = 0.0100). None of the patients reported any adverse events.</p><p>Conclusion: The efficacy rate of JDI was as high as 97.7% and no adverse events were observed. Adverse events can be prevented by being cautious of the side effects of Kampo prescriptions. However, the rate of concomitant use of analgesics was high, and the effects of reducing the dosage and frequency of analgesics remains to be determined.</p>
