Abstract

■Objective The purpose of this case report is to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment on a patient with pontine infarction complaining of discomfort due to aggravated voiding dysfunction after the onset of the stroke. ■Methods The patient was hospitalized for 44 days and treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, moxibustion, and interferential current therapy(ICT). We checked the amount of self-voided volume and postvoid residual urine volume(PVR), and asked the patient to subjectively evaluate the degree of discomfort due to voiding dysfunction. ■Results After 44 days of hospitalization, the patient responded that the subjective discomfort due to residual urine remained 30% and delayed urine remained 50% compared to the day of admission. The maximum amount of PVR was 234 ml on the 3rd day, and the minimum amount of PVR was checked on 25th and 35th day as 0 ml. ■Conclusions This study suggests that Korean medicine treatment may be effective in the treatment of voiding dysfunction after stroke.
