Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Korean medicine on a patient with dizziness due to hippocampal sclerosis.
Methods: A 51-year-old woman with dizziness, diagnosed with hippocampal sclerosis, was treated with herbal medication, acupuncture, and moxibustion. Her improvement was evaluated by a balance test, NRS, and the percentage of dizziness severity compared to that on her admission day.
Results: Improvement in the balance test result and NRS, and a decrease of percentage of dizziness severity, were observed after treatment with Korean medicine.
Conclusions: This study suggests that treatment with Korean medicine may be an effective therapy for dizziness due to hippocampal sclerosis.
