초록

The carotid artery is one of the main vessels supplying blood to the brain. Carotid artery stenosis is mostly caused by atherosclerosis, a disease where cholesterol is deposited in the arterial blood vessels. Tremor refers to rhythmic shaking of a body part. Tremor is a symptom of many diseases, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, orthostatic tremor, cerebellar disease, peripheral neuropathy, and alcohol withdrawal. Tremors may be classified as postural, rest, and action tremors. Tremor of a patient with stenosis of the left carotid artery decreased with acupuncture treatment. The acupoints were GB20, TE17, GV8 and GV11. This case shows that the acupuncture treatment is effective against tremor.
