Background:
Meniere's disease is a condition caused by disturbances in the
auditory and vestibular systems. It is characterized by symptoms such as dizziness,
nausea, vomiting, and tinnitus. In the United States, the prevalence of
Meniere's disease has been found to be 84 cases per 100,000 women and
56 cases per 100,000 men. Regionally, it is more common in less populated
areas, and research has confirmed that the prevalence increases with higher
household income.
Aim:
To evaluate the effectiveness of traditional medicine treatments and therapies
for Meniere's disease.
Results:
The patient is a 43-year-old male, with symptoms of dizziness, vomiting,
and tinnitus. Since 2023, he has sought care at the Central Hospital of
Mongolian Medicine, where he received traditional medicine treatments including
herbal therapy and other traditional therapies on three occasions. As a
result, the frequency of dizziness has decreased and other clinical symptoms
have improved.
Conclusion
Traditional medicine treatments have been shown to be effective
in managing Meniere's disease by extending the interval between relapses,
improving quality of life, and significantly reducing clinical symptoms.

Background:
Numerous studies have shown that with the advancement of technology such as computers and cell phones,
neck and back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome have become common in daily life.
Aim:
Estimating the effectiveness of acupoint catgut embedding treatment for chronic neck pain.
Materials and Methods:
The study used a randomized clinical trial, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with treatment (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. The study included 80 patients with chronic neck pain, and the results were evaluated in the two
groups before and after treatment using the “Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), “Neck Disability Index”, and “Quality of Life
Questionnaire” (EQ-5D).
Results:
Acupoint catgut embedding and acupuncture treatment for chronic neck pain increased the neck’s range of
motion by 2-5 degrees. Standard acupuncture treatment and acupoint catgut embedding treatment reduce neck pain and
improve the neck disability index. Acupoint catgut embedding treatment improves the quality of life of patients with
chronic neck pain, especially reducing anxiety and fear scores with statistical significance.
Conclusion
1. Standard acupuncture and acupoint catgut embedding treatment are equally effective in relieving chronic neck pain.
2. Acupoint catgut embedding treatment increased the range of motion in the same way as standard acupuncture.
3. Acupoint catgut embedding treatment also reduced the patient’s Neck Disability Index and improved Quality of life.

Background:
: Facial palsy, or facial neuropathy, is a peripheral facial paralysis condition known as Bell’s palsy, characterized by weakened muscles on one side of the face, limited movement in that area, and facial distortion. According to data
from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), this condition occurs in 15-20 per 100.000 people, with 40.000 new
cases diagnosed annually. Bell’s palsy can affect people of all ages but is more prevalent among middle-aged individuals,
with the average age of onset being 40. It is also more common during the spring and autumn seasons. We conducted
this study to clinically validate the efficacy of electroacupuncture treatment for facial neuropathy through experimental
research methods.
Aim:
Evaluation of treating facial nerve paralysis with the electroacupuncture method.
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted based at the International School of Mongolian Medicine and The
Central Hospital of Mongolian Traditional Medicine of MNUMS, and the Chinese Mongolian United Hospital of Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. Participants were randomly allocated into a treatment group and
a control group, with 30 participants in each group. Both groups were orally administered Tab. Acyclovir 100 mg at a
dosage of 200 mg four times daily at 6-hour intervals for 5 days. Additionally, the 30 participants in the treatment group
received electroacupuncture therapy, while the control group received an electrical patch application. The treatment was
administered consecutively for 5 days, followed by a 2-day break, over a total of 4 weeks. The outcomes were evaluated
using the FDI and House-Brackmann questionnaires before treatment, as well as on the 15th, 30th, and 60th days of the
treatment period
Results:
After administering electroacupuncture treatment to the treatment group, the patients’ clinical symptoms significantly improved. The movement of the facial muscles on the affected side gradually recovered, and pathological signs
such as incomplete eyelid closure showed marked improvement. Additionally, in most patients, taste sensation began to
recover by the middle phase of the treatment, and symptoms such as drooling and difficulty with cheek puffing completely
disappeared. On the 30th day of treatment, a comparison of the treatment outcomes between the two groups using the FDI
and House-Brackmann questionnaires reve
Conclusions
1. Combining electroacupuncture with antiviral medication for the treatment of facial nerve paralysis (Bell’s Palsy) is
effective and reduces the likelihood of sequelae.
2. When evaluating treatment outcomes using the Facial Disability Index (FDI) and House-Brackmann Scale (HBS),
electroacupuncture demonstrates superior effectiveness compared to patch therapy.
