Abstract

|
|
Objectives : This is a study of ischemic stroke patients designed for comparing Korean and Western medical treatments and Korean medical treatments alone.
Methods : 44 patients were diagnosed by B-MRI scan as having suffered ischemic stroke. They had entered Dong-eui Korean Medicine hospital within seven days of attack, and remained over seven days, all between May 2005 and October 2007. Patients were divided into two groups; a group treated with Korean medical treatments, and another group treated with Korean and Western medical treatments (but in both groups examinations were done and Western medications were given for hypertension, diabetes mellitus and so on)
Results : NIHss change one month later was not statistically significant for either groups but the NIHss gap between them was significant.
Conclusions : NIHss change one week later was not statistically significant for either group. NIHss change one month later was not statistically significant for either groups but the Korean medical treatment group had a significant NIHss gap more than the Korean and Western medical treatment group.
