Analysis of Research Trends in Korean Medicine Treatment for Miller-Fisher Syndrome in Korea

Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to analyze the Korean medical treatment methods for Miller-Fisher syndrome from January 01, 2000 to December 31, 2021. Methods Six online databases (KISS, SCIENCEON, DBpia, RISS, KMBASE, and KoreaMed) were searched for clinical studies related to Miller-Fisher syndrome. Results Thirteen case reports were selected out of the 85 studies, and a total of 13 cases were analyzed. There were five kinds of Korean medicine treatment that were used in these studies. Acupuncture and herbal medicine were the most used interventions. Conclusions Korean medical treatment is found to be effective for Miller-Fisher syndrome. Although several limits remain, we expect that further research will be conducted to provide a better level of evidence.
