Objectives: This study reports a case of a 66-year-old Korean female with stubborn pruritus and assesses the effectiveness of Korean medical treatment. Methods: A patient was treated with acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and herbal medicine. We evaluated the improvement in symptoms by changes in global assessment (G/A) and sleep quality. Results: After Korean medical treatment, improvements were observed in G/A, and sleep quality. Skin and excretions turned blue to green, with no abnormal findings on the examination. Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medical treatment is effective in treating stubborn pruritus caused by prurigo. Further studies are needed.
