Abstract

Objectives: This case report presents improvement of fatigue and tingling symptoms in a patient with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) after receiving Korean medical treatment. Methods: The patient was treated for 35days with the herbal medicine Hyangsayangwi-tang-gamibang and acupuncture. The effects of treatments were measured with fatigue severity scale (FSS) and numeric rating scale (NRS). Results: The clinical symptoms of the GBS patient were improved considerably after Korean medicine treatment. Conclusions: The herbal medicine Hyangsayangyi-tang-gaimibang and acupuncture could be effective for treatment of symptoms of fatigue and tingling in patients with GBS, but more studies are needed to confirm the present results.
