Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effect of Korean medical treatment on a spinal cord tumor.
Methods: We treated a patient who was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor. We used acupuncture, bee venom pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion and physical therapy; the patient was evaluated using the visual analogue scale(VAS) and given an International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury(ISNCSCI) score.
Results: VAS decreased and ISNCSCI score increased meaningfully.
Conclusions: According to these results, this report possibly suggests that Korean medical treatment could be a helpful choice for treating a spinal cord tumor.
