Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This case study reports on the effects of Korean medicine on a corticobasal syndrome with apraxia.
Methods: We used acupuncture, bee-venom, pharmaco-acupuncture and herbal medicine to treat a corticobasal syndrome patient during hospitalization for 32 days. We observed changes in the UPDRS score, hand movement by opening and closing of hands, the making of a tower with 10 blocks and writing.
Results: The hand movement count was improved from 2 to 10. The time needed for making a tower with 10 blocks decreased from 68 to 50 sec, and the number of stroke when writing the Korean word ‘철’ decreased. In addition, the UPDRS score was decreased after treatment from 27 to 24.
Conclusion: This clinical case study suggests that Korean medicine treatment could be used in the treatment of corticobasal syndrome.
