| ABSTRACT |
Objective:
This study reports on traditional Korean medicine therapy used for pneumonia among elderly patients.
Method:
Two patients diagnosed with pneumonia were treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture, as well as cupping along the back. We checked chest X-rays, coughing and sputum on the visual analogue scale (VAS), and lab evaluations in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.
Results:
Following treatment with traditional Korean medicine therapy, VAS scores for coughing and sputum decreased and the chest X-rays and inflammation markers improved.
Conclusion:
Traditional Korean medicine therapy treatment appears to be effective for treating pneumonia in elderly patients. |
