Objectives:The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of oriental medical therapy to a patient with memory disorders and quadriparesis caused by traffic accident.
Methods:This study was carried out on a patient who was admitted to the Sangji oriental medical hospital, from January 21st in 2002 to May 2nd in 2002. We used 4 kinds of diagnosis(watching, asking, hearing, and toughing) and treated the patient with herbal medication and acupuncture therapy. Then we estimated the effect of memory disorders through MMSE-K(Mini mental State Examination-Korea) and K-DRS(Korean-Dementia Rating Scale). The numerical effect demonstrated ability of movement through range of motion.
Results: Following the treatment the patient’s mental state and the ability of movement improved.
Conclusion: The present results suggest that oriental medical therapy has the positive effects on a patient with memory disorders and quadriparesis which were caused by traffic accident.
