The effects of the treatment were evaluated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Sensory Change, and Numeral Rating Scale(NRS) before and after treatment. Results After five treatments, VAS improved by an average of 6.5 points, improving from severe to none in terms of evaluation criteria. Sensory Change showed an average improvement of 60%. NRS improved by an average of 6.625 points, improving from severe to none in terms of evaluation criteria. Conclusions Acupuncture treatment is effective for patients with sensory loss and paresthesia due to peroneal nerve paralysis.
