Abstract
The purpose of this study is to suggest a possibility of the Korean medical treatment in patient with peroneal nerve palsy, and to suggest importance of differential diagnosis of foot drop. Peroneal nerve pasly was diagnosed by lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and electromyogram(EMG). The patient was treated with acupuncture, herbal medicine, bee-venom acupuncture and moxibustion from March 7th to May 2nd. We measured Numerical Rating Scale(NRS), Range of Motion(ROM) of the ankle, and observed the change in body temperature using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(DITI). After received Korean medical treatment, the patient showed improvement in all the scales mentioned above. The result showed that Korean medical treatment is effective in peroneal nerve palsy before operation.
