In this report, we present a case in which long-term swelling and pain because of an ankle sprain were successfully treated with the traditional Japanese herbal (Kampo) medicine Jidabokuippo. Jidabokuippo was created in Japan and has been used to treat swelling and pain associated with trauma. A 44-year-old woman sprained her right ankle and received the standard treatments including icing and immobilization for three weeks. However, the swelling, redness, and pain of her ankle continued for two months after the treatments. After initiating Jidabokuippo, her pain and swelling were promptly improved. This suggests that Jidabokuippo is a potentially promising pharmacotherapy for patients with ankle sprain which has not recovered smoothly. It is said that Jidabokuippo can be prescribed simply referring to pain and swelling of the affected areas; therefore, it should be considered as a treatment for trauma patients with long-term swelling and pain.
在本报告中，我们介绍了一例因脚踝扭伤导致长期肿胀和疼痛的病例，该病例通过日本传统草药（汉方）制剂“治打扑肿方”成功治愈。“治打扑肿方”在日本创制，一直用于治疗与创伤相关的肿胀和疼痛。一名44岁女性扭伤了右脚踝，接受了包括冰敷和固定三周的标准治疗。然而，治疗后她的脚踝肿胀、发红和疼痛持续了两个月。开始使用“治打扑肿方”后，她的疼痛和肿胀迅速改善。这表明“治打扑肿方”对于扭伤后恢复不顺利的患者可能是一种有前景的药物疗法。据说，仅根据患部的疼痛和肿胀就可以开具“治打扑肿方”；因此，它应被视为治疗长期肿胀和疼痛的创伤患者的一种疗法。
