Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest a possibility of the Korean medical treatment in patient with anterior interoseous nerve entrapment syndrome. The patient treated with acupunture, herbal medicine and Needle-embedding Therapy from April 19th to May 15th. We measured Visual Analotgue Scale(VAS), and Observed the change in body tempreture using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(DITI). After received Korean medical treatment, the patient showed improvement in muscle strength, sensation, VAS, temperature differential. Therefore we can consider Korean medical treatment before operation in interosseous nerve syndrome.
