■ Abstract
This case report describes a patient diagnosed with post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome
(CRPS) type I who underwent a 48-day course of integrative Korean medicine treatment, including scalp
acupuncture with electrical stimulation, manual acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, moxibustion, herbal
medicine, and conventional medication. Scalp acupuncture was applied to the motor and sensory
areas, and treatment efficacy was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), the Quick-Version of
the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick-DASH), and the Korean version of the Modified
Barthel Index (K-MBI). Following treatment, the patient experienced significant improvement, with NRS
decreasing from 9 to 1, Quick-DASH from 94.55 to 54.55, and K-MBI increasing from 62 to 83. These findings
suggest that scalp acupuncture with electrical stimulation, combined with integrative Korean medicine
treatment, may provide significant pain relief and functional improvement in patients with CRPS type I.

■ Abstract
Background: Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO) is a condition characterized by colonic dilatation
without mechanical obstruction and is thought to be associated with autonomic imbalance. Therapeutic
options remain limited when drug therapy is contraindicated or ineffective. This study aimed to report
the effectiveness of Haegeupchokcho-tang in a patient with suspected ACPO during the recovery phase
after intracerebral hemorrhage. Case presentation: A 63-year-old female patient in the recovery phase
after intracerebral hemorrhage developed suspected ACPO. She complained of recurrent postprandial
abdominal pain, distension, frequent defecation, and tenesmus. Abdominopelvic computed tomography
revealed colonic dilatation without mechanical obstruction, leading to a diagnosis of suspected ACPO.
Haegeupchokcho-tang was prescribed according to pattern identification, along with acupuncture,
electroacupuncture, and moxibustion therapy. Following treatment, the intensity and frequency of
abdominal pain gradually decreased, with improvements in abdominal distension and tenesmus, as
well as radiographic reduction of intestinal gas on abdominal X-ray. No recurrence of abdominal pain
was observed until the completion of treatment. Conclusion: This study describes an intracerebral
hemorrhage patient who presented with suspected ACPO and showed improvement in abdominal
pain and distension managed by Haegeupchokcho-tang and Korean medicine therapies. These findings
suggest that Haegeupchokcho-tang may serve as a potential treatment not only for ACPO but also for
gastrointestinal symptoms associated with reduced intestinal motility.

■Abstract
Background and Objectives: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder
characterized by motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. Among its
subtypes, the postural instability and gait difficulty (PIGD) type shows poor prognosis and limited
response to conventional pharmacotherapy. This case report aims to present the improvement of
gait disturbance and lower limb edema in a patient with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease following
Korean medicine treatment. Case Presentation: A 83-year-old male patient diagnosed with idiopathic
Parkinson’s disease (PIGD subtype) was admitted for 26 days with complaints of gait disturbance, postural
instability, and bilateral lower limb edema. The patient received Korean medicine treatments including
Hyungbangjihwang-tang, Gojin-eumja, acupuncture, pharmaco-acupuncture, electroacupuncture,
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and moxibustion. Symptom changes were evaluated
using a three-dimensional gait analysis system (G-WALK), the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale
(UPDRS), and daily measurements of bilateral ankle circumference. After treatment, improvements were
observed in gait speed, stride length, and gait symmetry on G-WALK analysis. UPDRS Part II and III scores
decreased, and bilateral ankle circumference also showed a gradual reduction. Conclusion: This case
suggests that Korean medicine treatment may be beneficial in improving gait disturbance and alleviating
lower limb edema in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.

■ Abstract
Background: Progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) is a rare subtype of motor neuron disease characterized
by progressive weakness and muscle atrophy resulting from lower motor neuron degeneration. Currently,
there is no established curative treatment for PMA, and management is primarily symptomatic. This case
report describes the clinical improvement of a PMA patient following Korean medicine treatment. Case
report: A 74-year-old female patient with a 10-year history of progressive left-sided weakness and muscle
atrophy was provisionally diagnosed with PMA based on electromyography, nerve conduction studies, and
clinical findings. Despite repeated hospitalizations and conventional medical treatment, her neurological
symptoms exhibited progressive deterioration. The patient underwent Korean medicine treatment,
including herbal medication (Bojungikgi-tang), acupuncture, electroacupuncture, pharmacopuncture,
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and moxibustion for approximately one month. After
treatment, objective improvements were observed in functional performance scores: the Short Physical
Performance Battery (SPPB) increased from 8 to 12, the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) from 92 to 100, and
the Manual Function Test (MFT) scores improved bilaterally. The circumferential difference between the
lower extremities decreased by 1 cm, and the patient reported subjective improvements in gait stability
and muscle strength. Conclusion: This case suggests that Korean medicine treatment may enhance
muscle function and activities of daily living in patients with PMA. Although the findings are limited by
the single-case design and the non-uniform timing of assessments, the report highlights the potential of
Korean medicine as a complementary therapeutic option for rare neurodegenerative diseases lacking
established treatment strategies.
