Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The present study reports on one patient diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Method: One patient was treated by Sukjiyanggeun-tang, electroacupuncture, and physical therapy. Any improvement in symptoms was assessed by measuring changes in motor grade; scores in the modified Barthel index, the disability scale, and the numerical rating scale (NRS) of lower back pain; and ambulatory condition during hospitalization.
Results: After 48 days of treatment, the patient's symptoms of Guillain-Barre syndrome showed improvement.
Conclusions: Traditional Korean medical treatment appeared to be effective in reducing Guillain-Barre syndrome symptoms, but more research is required to confirm these results.
