|
|
Objective: This is a case report on the effect of Korean traditional medicine on deep stupor to semi-coma with intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage.
Methods: The patient was treated by Korean traditional medicine such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine. The change of mental state was evaluated by the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). We used the Modified Medical Research Council Scale (MRC scale) and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.
Results: After treatment, the physical function and ability to perform activities of daily living were improved. The Modified Barthel Index increased from 0 to 40 after treatment with Korean medicine.
Conclusions: According to this study, Korean traditional medicine can be effective for the treatment of quadriparesis in patients with deep stupor to semi-coma in intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage.
