Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to address a case of cerebral infarction with dysesthesia and weakness. Methods: A patient diagnosed with cerebral infarction with dysesthesia and weakness was treated with Korean medicine therapies including herbal medication (Sunhyunagjunggi-san) for 8 days. To evaluate the therapeutic effect, we used the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Results: After the treatment, the NIHSS and NRS scores dramatically decreased, and the symptoms no longer disturbed the patient. Although the symptoms of dysesthesia did not disappear completely, fine therapeutic effects were noted. Conclusion: These results suggested that Korean medicine therapies with Sunghyuangjunggi-san have a beneficial effect on the dysesthesia and weakness of cerebral infarction.
