Traditional clinical symptoms and signs: Kampo pattern diagnosis in modern gastrointestinal disease
Our study results show that symptom patterns are independent of the underlying disease. They rather depict the individual patient within an individual time frame. Traditional Kampo questionnaires were found to be valid for the analysis of a patients' body constitution (<i>sho</i>) and serve as a guide for Kampo treatment. We propose that individual pattern diagnosis should be taken into account to help treatment individualization.
