The Effect of Korean Medical Treatment on Suspected Diabetic Muscle Infarction (DMI)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives : This study reports the clinical effects of Korean medical treatment on a patient with suspected diabetic muscle infarction (DMI).
Methods : A patient diagnosed with spinal stenosis was suspected of DMI. The patient was treated with acupuncture, bee-venom pharmacopuncture and gastrocnemius stretching.
Symptoms were evaluated by verbal numeric rating scale (vNRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Manchester foot pain and disability index (MFPDI).
Results : After approximately 5 weeks of Korean medical treatment, including 8 bee-venom treatments, vNRS, ODI, and MFPDI all decreased.
Conclusion : The results suggest that Korean medical treatment is effective for treating pain caused by DMI.
