|
|
Objectives: To examine effects of traditional Korean medical treatment on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Methods: Effects of Korean medical treatment on patients with OCD who visited the neuropsychiatric clinic of Korean medicine were examined. Patients were treated with acupuncture, herbal medication, and oriental psychotherapy. Padua-ICMA, Y-BOCS, BDI-2, STAI-X1/X2, BAI were compared before and after 8 and 12 weeks of treatment to determine whether symptoms of patients were improved.
Results: After 8 weeks treatment (n=19), Padua-ICMA, Y-BOCS, BDI-2, STAI-X1/X2, and BAI scores were significantly decreased. After 12 weeks treatment (n=12), Padua-ICMA, Y-BOCS, BDI-2, STAI-X1/ X2, and BAI scores were also significantly decreased.
Conclusions: Traditional Korean medicine is clinically effective in treating OCD.
