The Clinical Reaction Study on 64 Cases with Essential Bee Venom Treatment

Abstract

. We checked clinical reactions of treatment region. Results 8 patients (12.5%) complained of localized itching and 4 patients (6.3%) complained of localized pain after EBV injection. In itching reaction of patients, 2 patients (15.4%) occurred itching in head and neck, 4 patients (12.9%) occurred in lumbar and back. In pain reaction of patients, 2 patients (6.5%) occurred pain in lumbar and back, 1 patient (11.1%) occurred pain in upper limb. All clinical reactions were happened within 7 treatment times. Conclusions This study suggested EBV treatment can cause clinical reaction like itching and pain. Clinical reactions were more common in inpatients than outpatient, and all reactions were happened within 7 treatment times. Doctors should recognize physical reaction caused by EBV and explain to patient. Further studies are needed to more improved treatment. (J Korean Med Rehabil 2016;26(3):165-170)
