Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment in a patient with Herpes Zoster (HZ) during pregnancy.
Methods: During 12 days of hospitalization, a patient was treated by Korean medicine treatment such as herbal medicine including Gami-danggui-san, acupuncture, cupping and fumigation. To evaluate the effect of treatment, we took pictures of skin lesion and symptoms were measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and 36 item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).
Results: After Korean medicine treatment, most of vesicles disappeared. NRS of chief complaints such as neuralgic pain and itchness changed 7-8 to 0 and therefore, quality of life of the patient was elevated sharply.
Conclusions: This case shows that Korean medicine treatment is beneficial and safe for the patients who suffered from Herpes Zoster during pregnancy.
