Abstract

1. Objectives This case study describes a successful treatment process of a Soyangin patient with somatoform autonomic dysfunction symptoms using Soyangin therapeutic measures, including administration of Dokhwaljihwang-tang (獨活地黃湯) and Sibyimijihwang-tang (十二味地黃湯). 2. Methods The patient was treated with several constitutionally discriminated medicinal agents (獨活地黃湯, 十二味地黃湯) and acupunctural therapy accompanied by simultaneous western medical management. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to assess the severity of flushing. 3. Results and Conclusions As flushing was one of the chief complaints, the patient was treated with Soyangin therapeutic measures including Dokhwaljihwang-tang and Sibyimijihwang-tang. The patient responded positively to the therapy, but further studies are anticipated for more definitive conclusions.
