Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the effectiveness of Korean medicine in the treatment of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness. Methods: A patient with dizziness was treated with Banhabackchulchunma-tang and Gongjin-dan herbal medicines. The severity of symptoms was assessed with a daily visual analog scale (VAS) for dizziness and the frequency of subjective trembling feelings (over 30 minutes). Results: After the treatment, the severity of dizziness was reduced from VAS 5 to VAS 2, and fatigue was improved from VAS 5 to VAS 1. The frequency of subjective trembling feelings was reduced from once every 3-4 days to once every 10 days. Other symptoms, such as dyspepsia, sleep disturbance, and hot flashes, also showed improvement. Conclusion: Treatment with Korean medicine may be an effective option for the treatment of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness.
