Abstract
|
|
|
Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a disorder caused by nerve inflammation. The inflammation damages portions of the nerve cells, resulting in pain, numbness, muscle weakness or paralysis and sensory loss. The damage can also leads to denervation (killing the axon part of the nerve cell), which stops nerve function entirely. Without the axon, messages cannot be transferred from one nerve cell to another, but the causes and mechanism of this syndrome are unknown. This is a clinical report about two patients diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. The patients, a 54-year-old woman and a 37-years-old man, had pain, and weakness in both legs and arms. After about 4 weeks of Korean medicine and acupuncture treatment, most of their symptoms improved. Therefore, Korean traditional therapy has potential for treatment of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
