Objective: This case report suggests the effectiveness of Korean Medicine Treatment, including scalp acupuncture, for gait disturbance in multiple system atrophy-cerebellar type (MSA-C). Methods: Scalp acupuncture, herbal medicine (Jihwangeumja-gamibang), moxibustion, pharmacoacupuncture, and Chuna therapy were administered for 81 days to improve the symptoms of the patient. The degree of symptom improvement was evaluated using the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) and Korean Version of Berg Balance Scale (K-BBS). Results: After 81 days of treatment, the UMSARS Part I Score decreased from 20 to 13, UMSARS Part II Score decreased from 23 to 9, and K-BBS Score increased from 25 to 45. Conclusion: This case report suggests that Korean medical therapy, including scalp acupuncture, can be effective in delaying the progression of gait disturbances in patients with MSA-C.
