Abstract

This study researches the effects of oriental treatments for brain lesions and communicating hydrocephalus of patients with mental retardations. We treated the patients with acupuncture and herbal medication, and then followed up the results 3 times. After treatment, K-MBI is significantly increased but the MMSE-K is not. Although results indicate its significance to brain lesions, the oriental treatment is insufficient to cure mental retardation.
