Abstract

Objective: To report the effect of oriental medical treatment on post spinal surgery syndrome (PSSS) in restless leg syndrome (RLS) Methods: We treated this patient with oriental medicine and measured his progress using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the International Restless Leg Scale (IRLS). Results: After treatment, most symptoms had decreased: the VAS score dropped from 6 to 3, ODI from 22 to 14, and IRLS from 34 to 20. Conclusions: Oriental medicine may be effective in alleviating PSSS and RLS. However, more rigorous studies are required to identify exactly what treatment is more efficient for PSSS and RLS. Keywords: oriental medical treatment, post spinal surgery syndrome, restless legs syndrome
