Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This case study reports on one patient presenting atypical and chronic disorders after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS).
Methods: One patient was treated by Yeongseonjetong-eum-gami, Taklisodok-eum-gami, electroacupuncture, and physical therapy. Any improvement in symptoms was assessed by measuring changes in the motor grade of upper limb weakness, the numerical rating scale (NRS) of lower limb numbness, and GBS scores.
Results: After 24 days of treatment, the patient's symptoms of GBS showed little improvement.
Conclusions: Traditional Korean medical treatment appeared to be effective in reducing GBS symptoms, but more research is required to confirm these results. When treating GBS patients, the clinician should put effort into distinguishing GBS from other nervous disorders, such as acute onset Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP).
