Twenty-three patients with globus pharyngeus were treated with Koso-san (TJ
-70) at a dose of 7.5 g/day for at least 14 days. Symptoms disappeared in 1
8 cases and improved in 3 cases, therefore, the effective rate was 91.3% (2
1/23). The symptoms disappeared on average within 13.5 days. Terasawa qi-st
asis scores were significantly decreased after the treatment. TJ-70 might t
hus be a remedy for globus pharyngeus with qi-stasis.
