Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to report a case of an insomnia patient treated with a traditional Korean medical treatment. The patient had suffered from insomnia for 4 months and had taken medicines such as Zolpidem. We diagnosed the patient as So-yang-in, according to the Sa-sang constitutional medicine. We prescribed medicine with herbs for So-yang-in and applied acupuncture for 9 days, and then we evaluated sleep time, quality, and awakening, based on the patient¡¯s statement. The symptoms of insomnia were gradually improved during treatment. Therefore, traditional Korean medical treatment can help insomnia patients sleep well without Zolpidem.
