Abstract

Objective: This study is a report on a case of a Guillain-Barre syndrome patient with quadriplegia and paresthesia, whose condition was improved by Korean medicine treatment. Methods: A 71-year-old woman diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome was treated by acupuncture, electroacupuncture, Sambi-tang-gami, cupping, moxibustion, and rehabilitation. Clinical symptoms were measured with the Manual Muscle Test (MMT), the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), the Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and the Functional Independence Measurement (FIM). Result: After treatment, clinical symptoms showed improvement. Conclusion: Korean medicine treatment could be effective in the treatment of Guillain-Barre syndrome patients with quadriplegia and paresthesia.
