Abstract

|
|
Objective: This study presents a case of a 64-year-old Korean male with left-side hemifacial anhidrosis due to stroke who
was treated with traditional Korean medical treatments.
Method: The patient was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and moxibustion around the eyes, and was administered
Chungpyesagan-tang and Yuldahanso-tang. We performed a sweat percentage test and compared the results with those of the
other side of the face to evaluate sweat dysfunction.
Results: Sweat function appeared to improve after the administration of traditional Korean medical treatments.
Conclusion: Traditional Korean medical treatments may be effective in treating hemifacial anhidrosis due to stroke.
