Objective: In this case report, we address the case of a 68-year-old woman with numbness in both soles due to restless legs syndrome.
Methods: A patient was treated with Korean medicine including herbal medication Gyejibokryeong-hwan during 73 days as an outpatient. We evaluated the improvements of symptoms by use of the International Restless Legs Scale (IRLS) and checking subjective symptoms of patient.
Results: After 73 days of Korean medicine treatment, there was improvement in patient’s symptoms. IRLS score improved from 12 to 8, and subjective symptoms improved to about 30% compared to the first time.
Conclusions: This study suggested that Korean medicine treatments might be effective in RLS patient recovery.
