Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study reports a case of improvement in a patient with neutropenia after Guillain-Barre treatment through combined Korean medicine treatment.
Methods: This patient was hospitalized for 22 days and was treated by herbal medicine, electroacupuncture, and physical therapy. Symptom improvement was evaluated through periodic clinical pathology examination, manual muscle test(MMT), yanagihara scale, and numeric rastic sclae(NRS).
Results: The clinical symptoms and absolute neutrophil counts of this Guillain-Barre patient improved after the combined Korean medicine therapy treatment.
Conclusion: This study suggests that Korean Medicine can be effective in reducing Guillain-Barre syndrome symptoms and improving intravenous immunogloubulin induced neutropenia, but more research is required to confirm these results.
