Abstract

Objective: This case study reported the effectiveness of adjuvant Korean therapy on gait disturbances induced by drug-induced Parkinsonism. Method: A patient suffering from frontotemporal lobe dementia was diagnosed with drug-induced Parkinsonism and treated with adjuvant Korean therapy, including herbal medicine and pharmaco-acupuncture. The evaluation was performed by monitoring the length of time and number of steps during an 8 m gait, using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Results: After 17 days of adjuvant Korean therapy, the UPDRS score improved from 32 to 16. The length of time for the 8 m gait improved from 20 seconds to 14 seconds. The patient also showed a decrease in the number of steps during the 8 m gait from 43 to 22. Conclusion: This case suggests that adjuvant Korean therapy can be effective for drug-induced Parkinsonism.
