Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The traditional Japanese medicine, Keishi-ka-shakuyaku-daio-to is administered to patients with symptomatic pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) as compared with lactomin for 8 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Based on endoscopic finding, patients with symptomatic PCI are recruited.
2. After enrollment, abdominal symptoms are evaluated and abdominal CT is performed.
3. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio in blocks of 4 to undergo either the traditional Japanese medicine or lactomin (control). Randomization was carried out by computer-generated random sequences.
4. The traditional Japanese medicine, Keishi-ka-shakuyaku-daio-to(TJ-134, 7.5g/day), which consists of a mixture of a compound of peony root (6 g), cinnamon bark (4 g), jujube (4 g), glycyrrhiza (2 g), rhubarb (2 g), and ginger (1 g) or lactomin (3g/day) is administered to enrolled patients for 8 weeks.
5. After the administration of each drug for 8 weeks, abdominal symptoms are evaluated and abdominal CT is performed again.
