|
|
Objectives : This study reports two cases of grade four pressure ulcer patients mainly treated by pharmacopuncture Soyeom and Taklisodok-eum.
Methods : Two patients with grade four pressure ulcers at the oriental medicine hospital of Woosuk University were treated by pharmacopuncture Soyeom and herbal medicine Taklisodok-eum. Soyeom was treated once a day and Taklisodok-eum was given three times a day. We then observed the patients’ appearances of pressure ulcer and changes of blood test results.
Results and Conclusions : After ten days or three months each, wound sizes were reduced, tissue regeneration was accelerated and blood tests were improved. In conclusion, it is our belief that pharmacopuncture and herb medicine are effective to treat grade four pressure ulcers, and future studies will be required to ascertain this method on grade four pressure ulcers.
