Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Electroacupuncture (EA) has a positive effect on neurological repair and functional recovery following spinal cord disease. However, evidence of its effectiveness in acute transverse myelitis (ATM) cases is limited.
PATIENT PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old woman experienced headache and fever for 5 days, followed by a sudden onset of back pain, lower limb paralysis, and urinary and bowel dysfunction. The patient received intravenous medications. However, she did not experience improvement in clinical symptoms. She subsequently underwent acupuncture treatment. She regained walking ability and experienced improved bladder function and bowel control after 36 sessions of EA treatment.
METHODS: CARE guidelines informed the case study report. The MRC and ICIQ-UI-SF scores were used to verify changes in lower-extremity muscle strength and urination after EA treatment. Qualitative information was collected using feedback tables.
CONCLUSION: Pharmacological treatment for ATM lacks clear advantages because of its complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Hence, EA could be recommended as a promising treatment modality for ATM.
