Abstract
Objective : The purpose of this study is to report a case of tic-disorder child treated by Oriental medicine and Play therapy. Methods : We treated the Tic-disorder child with herbal medicine (Yangsintangkamibang), acupuncture and Play therapy. Then we evaluated tic disorder by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale(YGTSS) and observed the progress of tic disorder with the play therapy. Results : We treated a tic-disorder patient with oriental medicine, play therapy and had a good effect on a patient who had facial motor tic disorder. The patient's symptoms were improved and the YGTSS also decreased. Conclusions : This study shows that co-treatment of oriental medicine and play therapy can be an effective treatment for tic disorder. And the further study is needed with more cases and longer duration.
