Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine on a patient with dysphagia and anorexia following an acute lumbar compression fracture. Methods: The patient was treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine (Bojungikgi-tang and Insamyangyoung-tang), and the effects of the treatment were evaluated by monitoring oral feeding and using the Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) test. Results: After treatment, the amount of oral feeding more than doubled and the MBS was also improved. Conclusion: The results suggest that traditional Korean medicine may be effective for treating dysphagia and anorexia after an acute lumbar compression fracture.
