Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : This study was designed to investigate the effect of the Sa-Am Acupuncture treatment on two patients suffering from Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus(NPH).
Methods : We selected the two patients who were admitted with NPH. The patients were women with complaints of gait disturbance, dementia, incontinence, hemiparesis and dysarthria, after occurring of cerebral infarction or SAH. We treated the two patients by Sa-Am Acupuncture treatment method and herbal medication. One patient was treated during 64 days, the other was treated during 14 days.
Results & conclusions : The Sa-Am Acupuncture treatment was effective on one pateint, not the other. After treatment through oriental medicine, including Sa-Am Acupuncture treatment method, one patient was improved but the other was not changed. Therefore, this application of oriental medicine and Sa-Am Acupuncture treatment are reported with a plea for further investigation.
