【Summary】
A 83-year-old female patient suffered from intermittent dizziness for over than fifty years. She started to seek ear-nose-throat out-patient department since fifteen years ago, and was diagnosed with central vertigo. During an attack, she would feel weak and dizzy, accompanied by tension in the shoulders and neck. When the se[1]vere dizziness attacked, she was forced to lie on bed for several hours and took Bokey(Aspirin) one tablet daily. However, the occurring frequency of dizziness and the severity did not improve. She went to the out-patient department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital in May. Based on meridian diagno[1]sis, her condition was located in the Hand Shaoyang Meridian, Foot Taiyang Merid[1]ian, and the liver and kidney organs. Therefore, local acupoints such as Si Shen Cong (EX-HN1), Baihui (DU20), the vertigo and hearing area, and Fengchi (GB20) were selected for treatment, as well as distant acupoints such as Chengshan (BL57), Taixi (KI3), and Taichong (LR3). Ear seed acupressure was also used. After the three-month acupuncture therapy (one times per week), her occurring frequency of dizziness turns from three times per week to one times two week. The subjective Visual Analogue Scale (VAS Dizziness) score changes from 8 to 4 scores.
