Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of Korean Medical Treatment on a 79 years old Korean female with shoulder pain after stroke.
Methods: She was treated with moxibustion, acupuncture, electroacupuncture and herbal medicine. We evaluated the improvement by Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) of shoulder pain and frequency of awakening due to shoulder pain
Results: After 24 Days, total score of NRS was decreased from 7 to 2.1. Average sleep time was increased and waking up due to shoulder pain was decreased during the night.
Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medical treatment, especially Moxibustion could be effective to reduce shoulder pain and alleviate sleep disturbance. Further studies are needed.
