Abstract
The case of a 73-year-old Korean female with dysgeusia due to an acute left thalamic infarction is presented. The patient was treated with the herbal medicine Yanggyuksanhwa-tang, in addition to acupuncture and electronic acupuncture treatment. The filter-paper test and Oral Health Impact Profile-14, (OHIP-14) test were administered to evaluate dysgeusia. Post-treatment, the patient’s dysgeusia improved. Korean medicine may be an effective treatment for dysgeusia caused by a thalamic infarction.
