Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This report describes the case of a patient suffering alcoholic liver disease with lower limb weakness, which was improved by Korean medical treatments.
Methods: For relieving symptoms, Korean medical treatments, including acupuncture, moxibustion, and herb medication, were performed. To evaluate the effects of the treatments, a liver function test (LFT), the Hughes grading scale, and weight were used.
Results: After treatments for 29 days, symptoms were improved, and the LFT value was decreased.
Conclusions: This report suggests that Korean medical treatments may be one solution for alcoholic liver disease.
