| ABSTRACT |
Objective:
This study reports on the efficacy of using traditional Korean medical treatments (herbal medicine, Shinbaro pharmacopuncture, and acupuncture) for atypical facial pain.
Method:
The patient was treated with herbal medicines (Chungsanggyuntong-tang and Yanghyeolgeopung-tang), acupuncture, and Shinbaro pharmacopuncture. The study was measured via the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D) to assess the treatments’ effectiveness.
Results:
After the treatments, the patient’s pain was controlled and the NRS score was decreased. The EQ-5D score also showed improvement.
Conclusion:
This case shows that traditional Korean medical treatments could be effective in easing the clinical symptoms of atypical facial pain. |
