Abstract

Objectives: This study was designed to report the clinical improvement of the patient with glossodynia. Methods: During the treatment period (from Jul. 7th, 2021 to Aug. 3rd), a patient was treated using acupuncture, Korean Medicine, pharmacopuncture and FCST (Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy). Symptoms were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Results: After the treatments for 28 days, the OHIP-14 score decreased from 53 to 7. Also, the patient's VAS score decreased from 6 to 0. Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment with FCST may be valuable for glossodynia patients. Nevertheless further studies are needed.

본 증례에서는 발병일 이후 약 1년간 경구 약물 및 구강 세척액 등 서양의학적 처치를 지속하였으나 증상의 개선이 보이지 않던 설통 환자를 대상으로 FCST를 병행한 약침, 침, 한약 등 한방치료를 적용하여 설통이 소실되는 변화를 관찰하였다. 이에, 설통 치료에 있어서 한의학 치료가 구강 및 혀의 통증 개선, 설 색의 변화 등에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
