Objective: This case study reports improvement in a case of Guillain-Barre Syndrome by Korean medicine treatment in a patient with quadriplegia and anorexia.
Methods: A 79-year-old woman diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, Bojungikgi-tang-gami, cupping, moxibustion, and rehabilitation. Her clinical symptoms were measured with the Manual Muscle Test (MMT), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), and the EuroQol five-dimensional descriptive system (EQ-5D-5L).
Results: After treatment, improvements in the MMT, MBI, FIM, and EQ-5D-5L were observed and her anorexia decreased.
Conclusion: Korean medicine treatment appeared to be effective in the treatment of a patient with Guillain-Barre Syndrome with quadriplegia and anorexia.
