Abstract
Objective This case reports on the effect of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) treatment in a patient with psychogenic dystonia. Methods A patient with generalized tremor and gait disturbance diagnosed as psychogenic dystonia was treated with Yokukan-san-gami, Jakyakgamcho-tang, Yikgeebohyul-tang, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping for 6 weeks. Symptom improvement was evaluated with the unified dystonia rating scale (UDRS) and the Toronto Western spasmodic torticollis rating scale (TWSTRS). Results After 6 weeks of TKM treatment, the UDRS and TWSTRS decreased, and the patientâs clinical symptoms, including generalized tremor and gait disturbance, improved. Conclusions This case shows that TKM treatment may be effective for improving psychogenic dystonia. Keywords: psychogenic dystonia, gait disturbance, tremor, Korean medicine, case report
