Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study reports on the efficacy of using Korean medical treatment with suspected Meniere’s Disease.
Methods: We treated a patient with suspected Meniere’s disease using Korean medical treatments (herbal medicines, acupuncture, herbal acupuncture therapy). To evaluate the results, we used the visual analogue scale (VAS) to measure dizziness, tinnitus, ear fullness, and headache. The degree of tinnitus was also evaluated using the Korean Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (K-THI). The generic health status was evaluated using the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) scale.
Results: Improvements in the VAS and EQ-5D scale scores were observed after the treatments. The change in the K-THI scores showed that the patient's tinnitus handicap was relieved.
Conclusions: The results of this case study suggest that Korean medicine therapies may be effective in the treatment of suspected Meniere’s Disease.
