Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This report presents a case of late onset chorea hyperglycemia basal ganglia syndrome treated using traditional Korean medicine therapies.
Methods: A patient was treated with Korean medicine therapies, including the herbal medication, Yokukan-san. We evaluated the improvements in the patient’s symptoms based on the total score of the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale, the activities of daily living portion of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) Sydenham’s Chorea Rating Scale, the numeric rating scale, and an assessment of the patient’s writing.
Results: After undergoing Korean medicine treatment for 15 days, there were improvements in the patient’s chorea and writing as well as a decrease in the scores for all three scales.
Conclusions: This clinical case study suggests that Yokukan-san might be effective for treating dyskinesia in patients with chorea hyperglycemia basal ganglia syndrome.
