Abstract

|
|
|
People with somatoform disorder have a number of different symptoms that typically last for several years. Their symptoms can’t be traced to a specific physical cause. In people with somatoform disorder, medical test results are either normal or don’t explain the person’s symptoms. The symptoms of somatoform disorder are similar to the symptoms of other illnesses. People with this disorder may have several medical evaluations and tests to be sure that they don’t have another illness. In this case, we described a 56-year old man who was diagnosed as R/O) ALS, because he has many similar symptoms of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) such as gait disturbance, dysarthria, dyspnea. But we diagnosed his case as somatoform disorder and treated with herbal medication, acupuncure treatment ,negative cupping and relaxation training. Through these treatment, the patient showed improvement of chief complains and accessory symptoms.
