Abstract

Objective: To investigate the characteristics and prevalence of Traditional Medicine (TM) syndromes in patients with urticaria at Le Van Thinh Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on all patients diagnosed with urticaria who presented to the Dermatology Department of Le Van Thinh Hospital. A survey form for TM syndromes were identified using a structured survey form based on Traditional Medicine literature. Results: Among the identified TM syndromes, the Blood Heat Generating Wind syndrome had the highest prevalence (47,6%), followed by Blood Deficiency with Wind-Dryness (26,4%) and Blood Stasis Generating Wind (26%) as the least common. A statistically significant correlation between VAS itch scores and TM syndromes (p = 0.024), with patients in the Blood Deficiency with Wind-Dryness group showing significantly higher levels of itching. Conclusion: Among the three TM syndromes surveyed in urticaria patients, Blood Heat Generating Wind was the most prevalent. The VAS itch score varied significantly between different TM syndromes, indicating a correlation between the intensity of itching and TM syndrome classification.
