Abstract
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an idiopathic and progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Up to now, treatment of MSA patients had not been reported in Oriental medicine and only rarely reported in Western medicine. We experienced a 75-year-old female diagnosed with MSA and had quadriparesis with dysphagia. She was admitted to the hospital and received herbal medication, acupuncture, moxibustion and rehabilitation therapy. After 2 months, her motor power and swallowing function on video fluoroscopic swallowing test significantly improved. This report shows that Oriental medicine may play a role in the treatment of MSA, and further study is merited.
