팔미지황탕가미 및 침, 뜸 치료를 이용한 당뇨병성 신경병증 치험 1례 = Case Report of Diabetic Neuropathy Treated with Palmijihwang-tang, Acupuncture, and Moxibustion

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective: Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Patients with this disease suffer from various peripheral sensory symptoms that are not easily alleviated. We report on a case of a patient with diabetic neuropathy whose symptoms were alleviated after traditional Korean medical treatment.Methods: A patient with hand and foot numbness and coldness diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy was treated with Palmijihwang-tang (Bai Wei Di Huang Wa, 八味地黃湯) three times a day. The progress was evaluated with the numerical rating scale (NRS), neuropathy disability score (NDS), and neuropathy symptom score (NSS).Results: The improvement of symptoms appeared to be faster and more effective than that of conventional treatment. The improvement was observed from the second day of the treatment.Conclusions: This case study shows that Palmijihwang-tang may be an effective treatment for diabetic neuropathy.
