ABSTRACT

Objectives This study was aimed to report a significant improvement of lower limb edema in a patient with cerebral infarction sequelae using Jowiseungcheong-tanggamibang based on Sasang constitutional medicine. Methods This patient was diagnosed and treated with Sasang constitutional medicine. The patient took Jowiseungcheong- tanggamibang three times a day for 28 days. Among the evaluation indices, bilateral calf circumference, NRS, and pitting edema grade were measured daily, and D-dimer levels were measured once a week. Results After treatment with Jowiseungcheong-tanggamibang for 4 weeks, bilateral calf circumference, NRS, pitting edema grade, and D-dimer levels improved. Conclusions This study suggests the significance of Jowiseungcheong-tanggamibang treatment for ‘Taeeum type esophagus cold pattern’ patient who had lower limb edema after cerebral infarction.
