| Abstract;In the present study, 26 patients with gonarthrosis were treated with a combined Kampo therapy of Boi-ogi-to and Keishi-ka-ryojutsubu-to. Prior to the study, baseline characteristics and severity of disturbance in seven parameters: gait, going upstairs, going downstairs, squatting, "seiza", gonalgia caused by passive joint movement, and swelling of the knees, were determined in each patient. The following measures were evaluated for changes from baseline. After 8 weeks of combined Kampo therapy of Boi-ogi-to and Keishi-ka-ryojutsubu-to, most patients were completely or partially relieved from the disturbance caused by gonarthrosis. No adverse reaction was observed in the patients. Combined Kampo therapy of Boi-ogi-to and Keishi-ka-ryojutsubu-to may be useful as additional or alternative treatments for gonarthrosis.
