Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The purpose of this clinical study is to report the effect of Banhahoobak-tang in the case of a 57-year-old woman with multiple cerebral infarction causing dysphagia and dysarthria diagnosed as pseudobulbar palsy.
Methods: A patient was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medication, acupuncture, and language therapy. We focused on the effect of Banhahoobak-tang by evaluating improvements in symptoms by examining times of aspiration and changes in Speech Mechanism Screening Test scores.
Results: After three months of Korean medicine treatment and language therapy, there was improvement in the patient’s symptoms, including dysphagia and dysarthria.
Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medicine treatment could be effective for improving the symptoms of pseudobulbar palsy in patients. Specifically, herbal medicine (Banhahoobak-tang) could be an effective choice for treating dysphagia.
