Objectives: This case report describes the effect of Hominis placenta pharmacopuncture (HPP) on multiple sclerosis.
Methods: A multiple sclerosis patient with gait disturbances, tremors, spasms of both lower limbs, and diplopia was treated with only HPP for two weeks. To evaluate the effects of HPP on the balance ability of the patient, the Functional System (FS) scale, Expanded Disability Statue Scale (EDSS), visual analog scale (VAS), manual muscle test (MMT), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used.
Results: The HPP treatment reduced the patient’s gait disturbance, tremors, spasms of the lower limbs, and diplopia. According to the FS scale, the patient’s cerebellar and optic functions were enhanced. In addition, the patient’s performance on the EDSS improved from 4.0 to 3.0.3. As shown by the MMT, the lower extremities showed a mild improvement (from F+ to G.4). Furthermore, the VAS showed a considerable improvement, decreasing from 9 to 6.5 post-treatment. The patient’s performance on the BBS, which denotes balance ability, showed a considerable improvement, increasing from 38 to 49.
Conclusion: Treatment with only HPP could help to ameliorate the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
