- Abstract
- Objectives: Parkinson’s disease is the neurodegenerative disease that affects both motor and non-motor function, including postural instability. Camptocormia is an abnormal condition in which the thoracolumbar spine bends forward during walking or standing. However, the treatment options are limited and often not effective. The purpose of this study was to report on the Korean medical treatment of a Parkinson’s disease patient with postural instability who presented with camptocormia.
Methods: We used Korean medical treatment including herbal medicine (Jemageopung-tang), acupuncture and pharmacopuncture therapy to the patient who was admitted to the hospital for 21 days. The clinical symptoms were assessed with the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and walking time without assistance.
Results: After treatment, the UPDRS Parts 2 and 3 scores were decreased from 5 to 3 and 20 to 9, respectively. Also, the walking time without assistance was improved.
Conclusion: This study suggested that Korean medical treatment could be an effective option for treating Parkinson’s disease with postural instability.
