Abstract

Objectives: In this report, we describe two patients with central dizziness and cerebellar ataxia who were treated with traditional Korean medicine. Methods: We applied traditional Korean medicine treatments of herbal medication (Banhabaekchulcheonma-tang and Bojungikki-tang), acupuncture, and moxibustion. Results: After 31 days of treatment, we observed improvement in the central dizziness on a numeric rating scale and in the cerebellar ataxia based on the patient's ambulation state. Conclusions: Traditional Korean medicine may be effective in the treatment of central dizziness and cerebellar ataxia.
