Abstract

|
|
Objective: In this care report, we address a case of a Parkinson’s disease patient with nausea and vomiting.
Methods: A patient was treated with Korean medicine therapies including herbal medication (Hyungbangjihwang-tang, Boikyangwie-tang), acupuncture, and electroacupuncture during 35 days of hospitalization. We evaluated the improvements of symptoms by checking the number of vomiting episodes and the presence of nausea.
Results: During 35 days of Korean medicine treatment, there was improvement in patient’s symptoms. The frequency of vomiting had decreased, and the nausea had decreased and not appeared for the last 7 days.
Conclusions: This study suggested that Korean medicine therapies might be effective in relieving gastrointestinal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
