Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of study was to report the clinical improvement of late complications of COVID-19 patient complaining of dyspnea treated with Korean medicine pulmonary rehabilitation. Methods: To assess the treatment outcomes, we used the modified medical research council scale (mMRC), 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), St. George respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ). Results: After treatments, the patient's clinical symptoms were improved with mMRC, 6MWD, PEFR, and SGRQ. Conclusions: The Korean medicine pulmonary rehabilitation was effective in the treatment of late complications of COVID-19 patient. This study suggested the possibility of Korean Medicine pulmonary rehabilitation program in the clinic for late complications of COVID-19.

본 증례에서는 COVID-19 후유증기에 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 환자에 대하여 한방 호흡재활치료를 시행한 결과 호흡곤란, 기침 등의 증상 및 삶의 질에 임상적으로 의미 있는 호전이 있었고, 향후 COVID-19 후유증 환자에 한방 치료를 활용할 수 있음을 제시하였기에 증례를 보고하는 바이다.
