Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effects of Integrated Medicine Therapy on Tuberculous Spondylitis. Methods : The patient was diagnosed with Tuberculous Spondylitis by MRI. Despite taking antituberculous drugs for one month the back pain remained. As a result the patient was hospitalized shortly thereafter in our hospital, and was treated with acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and herbal medication during the admission period. The clinical effects of these treatments are measured by the verbal rating scale(VRS), the range of motion(ROM) and the Korean oswestry disability index(KODI). Results : VRS is changed from 10 to 3.5, limited lumbar ROM recovered, KODI changed from 85.71 to 28.57. Conclusions : These results suggest that integrated medicine therapy may be effective for tuberculous spondylitis.
