Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the efficacy of using Korean medicine treatments on a patient with peripheral palsy with fatigue symptoms.Methods: A 58-year-old female patient with peripheral palsy and fatigue symptoms was treated with herbal medicine (Yikgeebohyul-tang), acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, Chuna manual therapy, and cupping therapy for 21 days. The treatment effects on peripheral palsy were evaluated using the Yanagihara and House-Brackmann grading systems.Results: Following treatment, the patient showed decreases in the House-Brackmann grading system and fatigue symptoms, as well as an improved Yanagihara grading system score.Conclusions: These results show that Korean medicine treatment improved the condition of a patient with peripheral palsy with fatigue symptoms.
