|
Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine treatment on a patient with an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at the left basal ganglia.
Methods: The patient was treated with herbal medicine (Gamicheongsim-tang, Hwangryunhaedok-tang-tablet), acupuncture, moxibustion, and rehabilitative therapy. The effects of these treatments were evaluated using the manual muscle test (MMT), sensory scale, Korean version of the modified Barthel index (K-MBI), and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).
Results : After treatment, the MMT grade improved from 3+/3+ to 4+/4+, and the sensory scale increased from 40%/40%/40% to 80%/80%/80%. In addition, the K-MBI score improved from 56 to 100, and the NIHSS score decreased from 7 to 1.
Conclusion: The results suggest that traditional Korean medicine can be effective in the treatment of patients with ICH.
