Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study examined the case of a 69-year-old man with a history of stroke and Alzheimer’s disease who had been diagnosed with probable-rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (probable-RBD).
Methods: The patient was treated with herbal medicine (Ukgan-san, Ukgansangayonggolmoryeo-tang, and powdered Gamisoyo-san extract), Western medicine (clonazepam, antiplatelet, psychotropic agents, antihypertensive drugs, and others), and acupuncture. Their effects were evaluated by the frequency and severity of sleep-related behavioral symptoms.
Results: After treatment, the observed frequency and severity of sleep-related behavior decreased.
Conclusion: The results suggest that using traditional Korean medicine with clonazepam can be effective in the treatment of patients with probable-RBD.
