초록
Objectives : This case study aims to report the effects of Korean medicine on a patient with idiopathic abducens nerve palsy and its associated symptoms, including strabismus, diplopia, nausea, and dizziness. Methods : A male patient with idiopathic abducens nerve palsy was treated using Korean medicine, which included herbal medicine, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping, and pharmacopuncture. To evaluate the effects of this treatment, we employed the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Scott and Kraft score, photographs of eye movements, and a satisfaction survey for Korean medicine treatment. Results : After three months of treatment, all symptoms of abducens nerve palsy recovered to a VAS score of 0. Notably, the range of lateral gaze in the left eye increased from 1㎜ at the initial assessment to 7㎜, now matching the range of the normal eye. No side effects were observed. Conclusions : The patient, who had not shown improvement with conventional treatment, exhibited rapid improvement after receiving Korean medicine. This demonstrates the effectiveness of Korean medicine in treating abducens nerve palsy.
