Tremor is a rhythmic, involuntary muscular contraction characterized by oscillations of a part of the body and is the most common movement disorder. Clinically, tremor isclassified into postural tremor, resting tremor, action tremor, or other kinds of tremor, and treated according to the causes. The appropriate treatment of tremor depends on accurate diagnosis of its cause. We have recently examined a number of tremor-patients diagnosed as cerebellar infarction. Based on traditional Korean medicine curative way, we diagnosed this patient as deficiency of Qi and blood(氣血兩虛). On this account, suitable treatment had been provided. Our results show the clinical symptoms had improved through treatment with herbal medicine (Palmultang-gamibang) and acupuncture, so we report it for better treatment.
