Objective : Western sleeping pills work very fast and effectively against insomnia. But they also bring about many side effects. Therefore oriental medicine can be a good alternative remedy. There are many clinical reports about patients treated for insomnia after stroke using oriental medicine. However, there are no clinical report about patients treated for insomnia after stroke diagnosed by Gobub & Bokjin. We want to prove the effect of Gobub & Bokjin in diagnosis and treatment for the insomnia patients after stroke. Methods : We chosed a patient who had suffered from insomnia after stroke. We administered acupuncture treatment, as well as Herbal medicine(Bokryoungum and Sanjoinsan). We monitored total sleep time per a day for 23 days. Results & Conclusion : Bokryoungum and Sanjoinsan was effective in improving overall sleep time day.
