Abstract

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of cerebral hemorrhage, is bleeding in the subarachnoid space. In this study, we investigated the improvement of symptoms such as headache and dizziness by treating a patient with acute SAH using integrative treatments. During hospitalization, the progress of hemorrhage absorption was observed using brain CT, headache intensity was assessed using the numeral rating scale (NRS), and dizziness was assessed using the Korean dizziness handicap inventory questionnaire (K-DHI). At the time of discharge, the brain CT confirmed that the hemorrhage had been completely absorbed, the NRS had decreased to 1 point from 10 points at the time of admission, and the total K-DHI score had decreased to 12 points from 70 points at the time of admission, showing that headache and dizziness had improved. This case showed the effective results of integrative treatment for acute subarachnoid hemorrhage.
