The degree of improvement is evaluated based on the body balance test and the patient's subjective symptom change. Results: Both the body balance test and the patient's subjective symptoms improved after administration of Gamiboik-tang and Korean Medicine treatment Conclusions: Korean Medicine treatment, including Gamiboik-tang administration and acupuncture treatment, is thought to be effective for presbystasis.
