Joint pain was successfully treated with bee venom acupuncture point injections combined with
conventional therapeutic options such as non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle
relaxants, and manual physical therapy, facilitating subsequent stroke rehabilitation.
5 different treatments so why was bee venom chosen as the successful treatment?

Abstract
Osteoarthritis in patients with an intracerebral hemorrhage can cause difficulties for stroke rehabilitation and can
delay neurologic recovery. In an attempt to overcome these problems, we used bee venom acupuncture injections for
hip joint pain in a patient with hip joint osteoarthritis who had suffered an intracerebral hemorrhage. A female patient
of 72 years old complained of hip joint pain due to osteoarthritis during stroke rehabilitation. The pain was initially
assessed as 7 in Numeric Rating Scale. Prior to bee venom therapy, this symptom was treated with medication, intra
articular injection, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and acupuncture. However, her pain did not improve.
She subsequently received bee venom injections at hip joint acupuncture points and her Numeric Rating Scale
score changed from 7 to 2 after this treatment, indicating improvements in hip joint pain. Her scores on the McGill
Pain Questionnaire for pain intensity and frequency were also improved. Herein, was port the observed effects of
bee venom therapy for hip joint pain with osteoarthritis in this patient, but caution that further controlled studies are
needed?
