Abstract

1. Objectives This study is about three cerebellar infarction patients with dizziness and ataxia. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Sasang constitutional treatment and suggested using the 'Equilibrium Function Test' as scale. 2. Methods These three patients were treated by Sasang constitutional herbal medications based on "Donguisusebowon". Acupuncture & moxa therapy and west medications were limited as much as possible. We evaluated the symptoms through two methods, the Visual Analogue Scale and the Equilibrium Function Test. 3. Results and Conclusions Dizziness and ataxia that were these three patients' chief complaints were improved. This case study shows that Sasang constitutional herbal medications are an effective treatment for cerebellar infarction patients.
