Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatment with Temporomandibular Joint Balancing Therapy (TBT) on Tic disorder patient with nausea and vomiting. Methods: In this study, Tic disorder patient with nausea and vomiting was treated by Korean medical treatment (acupuncture, herb medicine, etc.), including Temporomandibular Joint Therapy from Feb 28th, 2023 to Jul 10th, 2023. Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used for measuring the Tic disorder and accompanying symptoms. Results: After 32 sessions treatment, the YGTSS decreased from 67 to 0, and VAS associated with Tic disorder, nausea and vomiting also decreased 6 to 0 and 8 to 0 respectively. Conclusions: These results showed that Korean medical treatment with Temporomandibular Joint Balancing Therapy could improve Tic symptoms with nausea and vomiting. But further studies will be needed.

본 증례에서는 틱 장애 증상과 오심 구토를 동반한 환자에게 턱관절균형요법을 병행한 한방 치료를 적용하여 증상의 호전을 관찰하였다. 따라서, 이와 같은 경우에 턱관절균형요법을 적용하여 중추신경계와 자율신경계를 안정화시켜 틱장애 증상을 개선시킬 뿐만 아니라 전체적인 척추 정렬을 바로잡음으로써 소화기계와 관련된 흉추의 안정화를 통하여 관련된 증상의 호전에도 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
