행동장애를 동반한, 외상성 경막하 출혈 후 발생한 배뇨장애 한의 치험 1례 : 증례 보고

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to describe the therapeutic process through which Korean medical treatment enabled a patient with a Foley catheter-due to voiding dysfunction following traumatic subdural hemorrhage-to regain independent voiding in the bathroom. Case Presentation: The patient consistently received a combined extract formula of Hwangryunhaedok-tang and Gamisoyo-san three times daily, except for five days during the middle of the hospitalization period, when he developed a fever. Electroacupuncture was also administered twice a day. Based on statements from the patient and caregiver, the frequency of voiding during the day and night, voiding patterns, and post-void residual urine volume were monitored. After treatment, the patient was able to discontinue Foley catheter use and void independently in the bathroom. In addition, a noticeable decrease in nocturia and obsessive bathroom-related behavior was observed. Conclusion: This case report suggests that Korean medical treatment, including electroacupuncture, may be a therapeutic option for relieving voiding dysfunction following a traumatic subdural hemorrhage.
