Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : A case of cervical dystonia improved after Korean medical treatments by using measurements of Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS), and Cervical Dystonia Impact Profile (CDIP-58) to evaluate the changes of symptoms.
Methods : Korean medical treatments for relieving symptoms of cervical dystonia including acupuncture, herb medication, cupping therapy, and physical therapy were performed. To evaluate the effect of the treatments, TWSTRS and CDIP-58 were used.
Results : TWSTRS decreased from 55 to 24.5 and CDIP-58 also decreased from 79.3 to 36.2.
Conclusions : This report suggests that Korean medical treatments can be effectively used for patients with cervical dystonia. Further clinical studies are needed to verify the findings.
