Objectives This research was proposed to present Clinical Practice Guideline(CPG) for Taeeumin Disease of Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM): Esophagus Cold-based Exterior Cold (Wiwansuhan-pyohan) disease. This CPG was developed by the national-wide experts committee consisting of SCM professors. Methods First, collection and organization of literature related to SCM such as Donguisusebowon, Text book of SCM, Clinical Guidebook of SCM and Fundamental research to standardize diagnosis of Sasang Constitutional Medicine was performed. Secondly, journals related to clinical trial or Human complementary medicine of SCM were searched. Finally, 7 articles were selected and included in CPG for Esophagus Cold-based Exterior Cold (Wiwansuhan-pyohan) disease. Results & Conclusions The CPG of Esophagus Cold-based Exterior Cold (Wiwansuhan-pyohan) disease in Taeeumin Disease include classification, definition and standard symptoms of each pattern. Esophagus Cold-based Exterior Cold (Wiwansuhan-pyohan) disease consists of two aspects : Esophagus-Cold (Wiwanhan) and Esophagus-Cold Lung-Dry (Wiwanhan-paejo) symptomatology. Esophagus-Cold (Wiwanhan) symptomatology is classified into mild and moderate pattern by severity. Mild pattern of Esophagus-Cold (Wiwanhan) symptomatology is classified into Supraspinal Exterior (Baechu-pyo) initial and Wheezing-Dyspnea (Hyocheon) pattern. Moderate pattern of Esophagus-Cold (Wiwanhan) symptomatology is classified into Cold-reversal (Hanguel) and Cold-reversal (Hanguel) advanced pattern. And Esophagus-Cold Lung-Dry (Wiwanhan-paejo) symptomatology is classified into severe and critical pattern by severity. Severe pattern of Esophagus-Cold Lung-Dry (Wiwanhan-paejo) is classified into Dry-Cold (Johan) pattern and Dry-Cold (Johan) advanced pattern. Critical pattern of Esophagus-Cold Lung-Dry (Wiwanhan-paejo) symptomatology consists of Dry-Cold (Johan) intense pattern (Eumhyeol-mogal handa pattern).
