Abstract

■Objectives This work reports the case of a patient complaining of disequilibrium due to proprioceptive disorder whose condition improved following Korean medicine treatment. ■Methods The patient was hospitalized for 15 days and treated with herbal medicine, mainly doinseunggi-tang-gami, and acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and moxibustion. Disequilibrium was clinically estimated using Korean dizziness handicap inventory(K-DHI) and the patient's subjective discomfort in this regard was also checked by numeral rating scale. The degree of improvement in blood stasis syndrome was evaluated using modified Blood Stasis Questionnaire II(modified BSQ-II) to assess the clinical effects of the treatment. ■Results After treatment, the K-DHI classification improved from severe to mild, and the patient's subjective discomfort was greatly improved from NRS 6 to NRS1. In addition, the degree of improvement in blood stasis syndrome improved from blood stasis group to blood stasis risk group compared to time of admission. ■Conclusion These results suggest that Korean medicine is effective in treating disequilibrium caused by proprioceptive disorder.
