Abstract

Objectives This case reports the effect of Modified Hyeongbangjiwhang-tang for essential tremor after total vaginal hysterectomy. Methods The patient was treated with Modified Hyeongbangjiwhang-tang three times a day. To differentiate other diseases, we took her medical history. And, we used the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale (VNRS) and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) to assess tremor and gastrointestinal symptoms. Results Treatment with modified Hyeongbangjiwhang-tang resulted in a decrease in the patient's complaints of symptoms. Also, VNRS and GSRS scale were improved. Adverse effects were not observed. Conclusions Modified Hyeongbangjiwhang-tang may be effective for essential tremor after total vaginal hysterectomy.
