|
These are three case reports on developmental delay that were treated with Korean medicine more than one year. A child with spastic cerebral palsy was treated only with acupuncture in one case, and in another case, two children with cerebral palsy were treated with both acupuncture and Korean herbal medication: Gami-Dossi-pyengwisan and Gami-Guibiondam-tang. After more than a year of treatment period, all three children showed improvement of general condition and motor function, measured by Gross Motor Function Measure, compare to average of children with cerebral palsy. According to this result, Korean medicine treatment can be helpful in improvement of spasticity and developmental delay due to cerebral palsy. Further studies with more cases and well-designed randomized controlled trials should be performed to establish proper guideline of Korean medicine treatment for cerebral palsy.
