초록
본 임상사례에서 보는 것처럼 틱, 뚜렛장애에서도 FCST의 음양균형장치와 골반균형기법(PBT), 침치료 등 구조적 치료를 통해서도 유의한 치료변화가 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.
Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in tic disorder patients. Seventy tic disorder cases were managed with the Yinyang Balancing Appliance on temporomandibular joint (TMJ), combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and overall clinical impressions. Patients showed a trend toward improvement by clinical observations. In some cases, such changes were visible even after the initial treatment, and this effect was observed to be maintained over the follow-up period. Further clinical and biological research on tic disorder is expected with respect to the FCST.
