Abstract
|
|
|
|
The objective of this study is to report the improvement of one patient with physical seque-las induced by spinal epidural abscess surgery. The patient was treated by acupuncture therapy with pulsed electromagnetic therapy and herb medicine. We evaluated the effec-tiveness by numerical rating scale (NRS). As a result, the patient improved significantly NRS score. And the patient`s symptoms were alleviated. We guess that the causes of the pa-tient symptoms are chronic inflammation and fibrosis of dural. We conclude that acu-puncture therapy with pulsed electromagnetic therapy is an effective treatment to reduce the residual pain after spinal epidural abscess surgery. But there is a limit on this study due to sufficient number of case. Further studies will be needed.
