Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: There were few case reports on the treatment of Transverse Myelitis by oriental medicine. We experienced two cases of patients of Transverse Myelitis, who had complaints; motor, sensory impairment and bowel and urinary dysfunction.
Methods: There are a lot of similarities between Wejeung(Weizheng;?證) and Transverse Myelitis. We diagnosed that symptoms as Wejeung(Weizheng;?證), and employed Oriental medical treatments; herb-medication, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, moxa and physical therapy.
Results: After oriental medical treatments, clinical improvement of the neurologic impairment was noted.
Conclusions: We expected that therapeutic value of treatment of Transverse Myelitis in the oriental medicine will be higher if more clinical studies and researches are accomplished.
