Oral Lichen Planus Well-Treated with Kampo Medicines: Two Case Reports
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
We report the cases of two patients with oral lichen planus (OLP), who underwent effective treatment with the Kampo medicines (KMs): orento or hangeshashinto. These KMs are indicated in Japanese health insurance for the relief of stomatitis, but the effects of these medicines on OLP have not been established. We treated two females (69 and 54 years old) with OLP: one with orento (5.0 g/day) and one with hangeshashinto (7.5 g/day). Both KMs showed inhibitory effects on OLP and improved the patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores on the Short-Form 8 health survey and their oral HRQoL scores on the General Oral Health Assessment Index. Significant adverse events did not occur. Orento and hangeshashinto may thus be useful for the treatment of OLP.
