“…Not only were there no side effects, but CRPS symptoms that had persisted for more than 10 years, which had been treated with sympathetic nerve-blocking medication, pain relievers, corticosteroids, nerve blocks, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, were alleviated following Korean medicine treatment. Since there are not many experimental studies on the treatment of CRPS with Korean medicine, we believe reporting this case would lead to broader recognition and development of this treatment [18][19][20].…”

A 53-year-old male who had received surgery on his right ankle joint 10 years previously was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome the following year. Despite various treatments (sympathetic nerve-block medication, pain relievers, corticosteroids, nerve blocks, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) over the years there was no improvement in his symptoms. Recently the patient was admitted to a Korean medicine hospital where he received treatment (acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and herbal treatment) and his symptoms gradually showed improvement. The patient was concurrently on psychiatric medicine, antihistamine medication, and opioids for pain (when necessary). A decrease in numeric rating scale, Oswestry disability index scores, and an increase in the Korean version of the 5-level EuroQol-5 dimension score showed symptom improvement within 36 days. This study suggests complex Korean medicine treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome may result in a reduction in pain and improved quality of life.

Objectives: This study reports the effects of Korean medical treatment, including the administration of <i>Yanghyeolgeopung-tang</i>, on tension headache.Case presentation: A 48-year-old man with headache and neck pain caused by tension-type headache was managed with <i>Yanghyeolgeopung-tang</i>, acupuncture, and pharmacopuncture for 15 days. To evaluate the improvements, a numeric rating scale (NRS), the Korean Headache Impact Test-6 (KHIT-6), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were used. After treatment, the symptoms were relieved, and there were no particular side effects. The NRS scores reduced from 6 to 3, KHIT-6 from 64 to 48, and NDI from 46 to 22.Conclusion: These results suggest that Korean medicine may be effective for treating tension-type headache.
