Abstract
A diabetic neuropathy patient was treated with Korean medicine for 2 weeks. In this case report, we report the efficacy of a complex treatment comprising various Korean medicine methods by evaluating the differences in pain scores. The patient reported improvement in both pain score and glucose index. Korean medicine could therefore be effective for the treatment and prevention of diabetic neuropathy.
