Abstract
Objectives: In the case of a diabetic patient diagnosed with lumbar burst fracture, we aim to present effective results in terms of pain management and blood glucose level stabilization. Methods: A patient was given combined traditional Korean medicine therapy, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and antidiabetic medications, during a hospitalization period. We measured the state and progress of this case with the NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) and ODI/NDI (Oswestry/Neck Disability Index). We also checked blood glucose levels regularly. Results: After treatment, the patient's pain was controlled, and the NRS score was decreased. Not only were the overall symptoms of the patient improved positively but the ODI/NDI scores were also improved. Blood glucose level was stabilized. Conclusions: One case of a diabetic patient diagnosed with lumbar burst fracture showed improvement of ODI, NDI, and NRS scores for back and neck pain. Further, the blood glucose level was stabilized.
