Objective: To evaluate the effect of Sukjihwangbogan-tang-gagam (熟地黃補肝湯加減) in a patient with delayed vascular chorea. Methods: A vascular chorea patient was treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine (Sukjihwangbogan-tang-gagam). Results: Improvements in the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS), UFMG Sydenham’s Chorea Rating Scale (USCRS) (especially the scale of Activity of Daily Living (ADL)) (dysarthria 2→0, tongue protrusion 3→1, chorea 3→1, handwriting 3→1), and a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (8→2) were observed after the Sukjihwangbogan-tang-gagam treatment. Conclusions: Sukjihwangbogan-tang-gagam may be an effective treatment for patients with delayed vascular chorea.
