|
|
Objectives: This clinical report is to report the effect of Korean medicine on a patient with torticollis.
Methods: We used herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, pharmaco-acupuncture and bee venom acupuncture to treat a torticollis patient during hospitalization and out patient department (OPD) treatment for 3months. We observed the changes of symptoms using Toronto Western Spasmodic torticollis Scale (TWSTRS).
Results: After treatment, the patient's symptoms including torticollis, pain and the general condition were improved. The TWSTRS scores were also improved after treatment.
Conclusion: This clinical case study suggests that Korean medicine treatment could be effective in the treatment of torticollis.
