Abstract
We presented an ataxia patient who was difficult to diagnose and treated her by oriental medical treatment. We applied various methods of oriental medicine including herb medicine, acupunture, moxibustion and so on. After that, we checked the extent of dysarthria, pruritus, finger to nose and rapid alternative movement and measured the progress of general condition with Modified Barthel Index(MBI). After the oriental medical treatment was applied to her, ataxia, dysarthria, pruritus, finger to nose and rapid alternative movement were improved. The score of MBI was improved from 45 to 71, too. Even though there is no exact pattern identification about ataxia in oriental medicine, the oriental medicine can have an effect on the ataxia patient. In addition, more clinical study and observation should be needed.
