Abstract

Objective: We describe the case of a patient with a cerebellar infarction, with dizziness and ataxia who was treated with traditional Korean medicine. Methods: The patient was treated with the herbal medicine Jaeumgeonbi-tang. Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy were also administered on a daily basis. Dizziness was evaluated using the Numeric Rating Scale, and spontaneous movement was observed daily. Results: After the administration of Jaeumgeonbi-tang, the patient's dizziness and ataxia improved. Conclusion: This case shows that traditional Korean medicine appears to be effective in improving side effects of a cerebellar infarction.
