Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine treatment on a patient with an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at the left basal ganglia, thalamus, and posterior limb of the internal capsule.
Methods: The patient was treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, Hyangsayukgunja-tang, and Samul-tang-gami. The effect of these treatments were evaluated using the manual muscle test (MMT), modified Barthel index (MBI), and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).
Results: After the treatments, the patient’s status improved, as shown by his MMT grade, which increased from 1/1 to 4/4. In addition, the patient’s MBI score improved from 0 to 77, and his NIHSS score declined from 16 to 2. In addition, the patient’s Levin tube and Foley catheter were removed.
Conclusion: The results suggest that traditional Korean medicine may be effective in the treatment of patients with ICH.
