  • We experienced a 71year-old man who had a traumatic subdural hemorrhage as well as delirium, and whose condition was improved through oriental medical treatment. Herbal medicine Hwaeo-jeon is administered three times a day. We did Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean(MMSE-K) and Korean-Dementia Rating Scale(K-DRS). After being treated, the patient showed that symptoms of delirium(diminished or altered state of consciousness, impairment of cognitive abilities or physical function) was improved considerably. This result suggests that Hwaeo-jeon has good effects on delirium with Traumatic Subdural Hemorrhage.

  • Objectives: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is caused by a circulatory disorder. If symptoms are not present, the patient's progress is observed, but if symptoms are present, non-surgical methods or total hip replacement are performed. Several case reports have described the effects of Korean Medicine treatment on ONFH, but the number of cases is still small, and few studies have used blood stasis-based herbal medicines like Hwaeo-jeon (HEJ). This study reports the effectiveness of Korean Medicine treatments, including HEJ, on a case of ONFH. Methods: A patient diagnosed with ONFH by CT and MRI was treated with Korean Medicine treatments consisting of herbal medicine including HEJ, bee venom pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, cupping, and physical therapy. The improvement of pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale. Inflammation levels were determined by blood tests conducted during hospitalization. Results: Korean Medicine treatment, including herbal medicine, resulted in good clinical improvement responses, including reduced pain, improved mobility, and reduced inflammatory levels in the blood tests. Conclusions: Korean Medicine treatments, including HEJ, may be effective for ONFH patients. Further studies are needed to determine the recovery of osteonecrosis and the improvement of post-operative aftereffects using Korean Medicine treatments, as well as the reduction of pre-operative pain.
