We report a patient with ataxia caused by cerebellar, posterior column of the spinal cord and peripheral nerve lesions. The patient is a 63-year-old female who had been suffered from gait disturbance and numbness of the hands and toes for more than twenty years. Physiological examinations of this patient after one and half year of repeated acupuncture and moxibustion therapy revealed that the range of the coldness decreased, the walking ability improved, although the range of numbness did not change. Electrophysiological examinations of peripheral nerves also showed an improvement in upper extremities. Thus, continuous acupuncture and moxibustion therapy would be beneficial to the patients with neurological disorders that are difficult to treat using modern medical therapy.
