Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report on the Korean medicine treatment of a case of a cerebellar infarction patient suffering from vertigo, nausea, and vomiting. Methods: We applied herbal medicine (Yangjin-tang), acupuncture, and moxibustion to the patient, who was admitted to hospital for 51 days. Clinical symptoms were assessed with a numeral rating scale (NRS) and neurologic examination. Results: After treatment, the vertigo, nausea, and vomiting symptoms were improved, and the NRS showed improvement. Conclusions: This case shows that Korean medicine treatments are effective in relieving the symptoms of cerebellar infarction patients experiencing vertigo, nausea, and vomiting.
