AB - Objectives This study presents the improvement of symptoms using Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) and Sasang Constitutional Medicine (SCM) in a patient with Idiopathic Late Onset Cerebellar Ataxia (ILOCA).
Methods A 64-year-old female diagnosed with ILOCA underwent FCST and SCM treatments. Primary outcomes were assessed through Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for gait disturbance, hand weakness, and aphasia, alongside the Korean version of the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (K-SARA). Secondary outcomes included finger-tapping tests and sway analysis during walking and directional changes.
Results Gait disturbance showed improvement, with the VAS score decreasing from 7.1 to 3.1. Sway was absent during 72 consecutive steps of walking, although it persisted during directional changes. Right-hand motor function improved significantly, as the VAS score reduced from 5.1 to 1.3 and finger-tapping delay from 8.29 to 2.51 seconds. Dysarthria improved, as indicated by a reduction in VAS score from 5.7 to 2.5.
Conclusions This case suggests that FCST, SCM, and voluntary exercise are effective in improving gait disturbance, fine motor control, and dysarthria in patients with ILOCA.
