Abstract

1. Objectives This study evaluates the effect of oriental medical treatment on a chronic sinusitis patient. 2. Methods The patient was teated with acupuncture, nasal cavity irrigation, and Yangdokbackho-tang(陽毒白虎湯). Previous western medical methods were excluded in order to provide therapeutic methods different from pre-existing ones because we needed different, long-term treatment plan from previous treatment. We applied acupuncture 15 times during treatment period and instructed the patient to carry out nasal cavity irrigation at home. 3. Results & Conclusions Combined application of oriental treatment including administration of Yangdokbackho-tang and nasal irrigation showed remarkable clinical effects on symptom, physical examination and radiological finding.
