The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of oriental medical treatment to a patient with hypeventilation syndrome developed after traffic accident. Hypeventilation syndrome is a kind of psychosomatic disorder. Typical complaints are tachypnea, palpitation, paresthesia, muscle spasm and tetany. We treated the patient with herbal medication, physical therapy, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, etc. In acute hyperventilation attack, we used bloodletting therapy(+宣, shihhsuan), cupping therapy(B40, B57), emergency treatment with paper bag rebreathing and herbal medication in order to tranquilize. After 2 months of oriental medical treatment, we obtained good improvement in patient’s state. This results suggest that oriental medical treatment has the positive effects on a patient with hyperventilation syndrome.
