Abstract

목적 : 복합부위 통증증후군은 사고나 외상 이후 한 쪽 사지에서 시작되는 신경병증성 통증이다. 그 기전은 명확히 밝혀지지 않아 추천되는 치료도 아직 없는 실정이다. 이에 한의학적인 치료 방법을 적용하여 그 효과를 보고자 하였다. 방법 : 전통 한의학에서 이 환자의 상태는 통비로 볼 수 있다. 양쪽 무릎과 왼쪽 발의 통증을 호소하는 26세 남자 환자가 3년 전 복합부위 통증증후군 제1형으로 진단 받은 후 봉독약침, 침, 뜸으로 4주 동안 주 2회씩 치료를 받았다. 치료 효과는 DITI, VAS를 통해 평가하였다. 결과 : DITI, VAS를 통하여 환자의 통증에 호전이 있었다. 결론 : 침, 봉독, 뜸을 이용하여 복합부위 통증증후군 환자 1명을 치료한 결과 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
