Abstract

Objective : A case of idiopathic spasmodic torticollis rapidly improved after Oriental Medical treatments and supplementary trigger point injection is reported. Methods & Results : The oriental medical treatment for spasmodic torticollis including acupuncture, bee-venum therapy, herb medication, taping therapy, chuna therapy and physical therapy was performed for pain alleviation, and trigger point steroid injections were also performed. The Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) and the Tsui Score were used for outcome measure of the spasmodic torticollis. After treatment for 15 days, the TWSTRS showed a decrease from 56 to 22.3 and the Tsui score also decreased from 13 to 5. Conclusions : We concluded that the oriental medical treatment including acupuncture, bee-venum therapy and taping therapy rapidly induced spasmodic torticollis to remission.

경련성 사경한자 1례에 대하여 TWSTRS와 Tsui score를 사용하여 경련성 사경정의 심한 정도와 치료 결과를 평가하고, 한방치료를 주로하고 양방치료를 보완적으로 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 키네시오 테이프를 이용해 실시한 첩대요법은 사경증의 비틀림을 교정하는데 TWSTRS와 Tsui score 상 일정부분 효과가 있었다. 2. 아시혈을 포함한 치치료와 봉독치료는 TWSTRS상 경부통증과 일상생활 장애를 감소시켰다. 3. 양방협진하에 실시한 trigger point에 대한 국소 steroid 주사요법도 일정부분 통증을 감소시킨 것으로 생각된다.
