Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report on the residual symptoms after decompression of traumatic compartment syndrome experienced by a patient whose condition was much improved by electroacupuncture and bee venom therapy. Methods : The patient was treated with electroacupuncture and bee venom therapy. The progress of symptoms was checked by visual analog scale, disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand(DASH) and range of motion. Results : All results were improved. Scores from the visual analog scale and DASH decreased, while the range of motion increased. Conclusions : Electroacupuncture and bee venom therapy have an effect on residual symptoms after decompression of traumatic compartment syndrome.
