The purpose of this case series was to investigate the effectiveness of Bojungikki-tang-gamibang for vascular dementia. The case subjects were nine patients who were diagnosed as vascular dementia by Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean (MMSE-K) and Hachinski’s ischemic score. They were inpatients at the Kumi Oriental Medical Hospitalof Daegu Haany University from February in 2008 to Aprile in 2009. They were treated with Bojungikki-tang-gamibang. Results of before and after therapy were evaluated and scored using Korean-version Dementia Rating Scale (K-DRS). The results were analyzed using statistical methods, such as Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test. The study showed that the K-DRS score significantly increased after treatment (P<0.05). In summary, this cases report suggests that Bojungikki-tang-gamibang appears to be effective in the treatment of vascular dementia.
