Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to report the effects of Shihogayonggolmoryo-tang on elderly delirium. Methods: A patient suffering from delirium was treated with Shihogayonggolmoryo-tang herbal therapy for 35 days. To evaluate the therapeutic effects, the Korean version of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE-K) and the Korean Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (nu-DESC) were used twice a week. Results: After treatment, the patient's MMSE-K score increased from 0 to 12, and the nu-DESC results decreased 4 to 0. Conclusion: These scores suggest that therapy with Shihogayonggolmoryo-tang has a positive effect on elderly delirium.
