Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to report the efficacy of using Korean medicine to treat chronic cough. Methods: We utilized Korean medicine (herbal medicines, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and chuna) to treat a hospitalized patient with chronic cough and herniated intervertebral lumbar disc. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated using the numerical rating scale (NRS), cough symptom score (CSS), and cough assessment test (COAT). Results: After treatment, the NRS scores for cough, lower back pain, and leg pain improved. Additionally, the changes in CSS, and COAT indicated that the patient's cough symptoms were alleviated. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that Korean medicine may be effective for treating chronic cough and herniated intervertebral lumbar disc.
