Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of Korean medicine in a patient with multiple system atrophy-C (MSA-C).
Methods: A patient diagnosed with MSA-C was treated with herbal medicine (Boyangwhano-tang hap Yeokgan-san), acupuncture, and moxibustion for 8 weeks. Clinical improvements were evaluated by the unified MSA rating scale (UMSARS) and the scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia (SARA).
Results: Improvements in the total scores of UMSARS Part I, II, and IV and SARA were observed after Korean medicine treatments. However, there were no improvements to the urinary and autonomic dysfunctions.
Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment may be an effective treatment for a degenerative, progressive disease like MSA-C.
