Abstract

Objectives : The aim of this report was to investigate the effects of scalp acupuncture on central post-stroke pain. Methods : We treated a patient with central post-stroke pain from Lt thalamo-geniculate artery territory infarction with scalp acupuncture(MS6 and MS7) and usual treatment of Korean medicine. We evaluated pain severity using numerical rating scale(NRS). The scalp acupuncture was performed once a day for 3 weeks. Results : After 15th treatment of scalp acupuncture, NRS decreased from 8 to 3. Conclusions : This result suggests that scalp acupuncture(MS6 and MS7) is effective in treating central post-stroke pain. We hope that more clinical data and studies are to be done for efficient application.
