| ABSTRACT |
|
Insomnia is defined as an experience of inadequate or poor-quality sleeping habit, coupled with more than one of the following symptoms : having difficulty sleeping, waking up too early in the morning or not having sound sleep. Insomnia is one of the most common complications that stroke patients experience, which interfere the patients’ recovery. The authors observed two improved cases of insomnia in stroke patients by administrating traditional Korean medicine. The patients suffered from insomnia with nocturnal irritation, constipation, petechia of the tongue, thready or weak pulse. These symptoms were diagnosed as blood stasis and we administered Hyulboochucke-tang three times a day, to improve blood circulation to remove blood stasis. After the administration, nocturnal irritation disappeared and the insomnia improved. Based on this experience, it is considered that enhancing blood circulation to remove blood stasis can be applied to the treatment of insomnia that stroke patients suffer. |
