Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : The aim of this report was to investigate the effects of scalp acupuncture on central post-stroke pain.
Methods :We treated a patient with central post-stroke pain from Lt thalamo-geniculate artery territory infarction with scalp acupuncture (MS6 and MS7) and usual treatment of Korean medicine. We evaluated pain severity using numerical rating scale (NRS). The scalp acupuncture was performed once a day for 3 weeks.
Results :After 15th treatment of scalp acupuncture, NRS decreased from 8 to 3.
Conclusions : This result suggests that scalp acupuncture (MS6 and MS7) is effective in treating central post-stroke pain. We hope that more clinical data and studies are to be done for efficient application.
