Abstract
Objective: This study reports on the management of a patient with myasthenia gravis (MG) following myasthenic crisis (MC) using Korean medicine.Methods: A 77-year-old Class Ⅴ MG patient was treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, and Korean herbal medicine. A manual muscle test was used to derive a Medical Research Council (MRC) score and the patient’s subjective view of his dyspnea was measured to assess MG symptoms.Results: The MRC grade indicated significant deterioration after 65 days of treatment, although there was no change in the patient’s subjective dyspnea assessment. But no other MG or MC complications occurred.Conclusion: This study suggests that Korean medicine could be used for the management of Class Ⅴ MG patients.
