Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study is to report a case of a patient with pattern identification of liver fire flaming upward and metabolic syndrome improved by Korean medicine. The patient felt completely lost. She was treated for headache, insomnia, and metabolic syndrome with Korean medicine and psychotherapy. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pattern Identification Tool for Insomnia (PIT-Insomnia), Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory-2 (MMPI-2), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were used for assessment. During treatment for six months, the patient stopped taking headache pills. Her blood pressure was stabilized. Her body weight, body fat, body mass index (BMI), and visceral fat decreased significantly. The sum of ISI, PSQI, PIT-insomnia also decreased significantly. Her Ego strength increased in the MMPI-2 supplementary scale. We assume that Korean medicine treatment through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and psychotherapy is effective in treating pattern identification of liver fire flaming upward and metabolic syndrome.
