Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of acupuncture and herbal medicine (<i>Gami-banhabakchulchunma-tang</i>) for post-stroke visual impairment.Methods: A 79-year-old male with headache, dizziness, visual field defects, and blurred vision caused by a posterior cerebral infarction was treated with acupuncture and <i>Gami-banhabakchulchunma-tang</i> for three months. We used the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for each symptom and measured the patient’s eye-movement range.Results: Following treatment, the NRS score for headache decreased from 5 to 0, and for dizziness and blurred vision, it decreased from 5 to 1. The NRS score for visual field defects decreased from 5 to 2. The range of the patient’s left and right eye movements both improved, and no adverse side effects were observed during the admission period.Conclusions: Korean medical treatment with acupuncture and herbal medicine (<i>Gami-banhabakchulchunma-tang</i>) could effectively treat post-stoke visual impairment.
