Objective : A case of idiopathic spasmodic torticollis rapidly improved after Oriental Medical treatments and supplementary trigger point injection is reported.
Methods & Results : The oriental medical treatment for spasmodic torticollis including acupuncture, bee-venum therapy, herb medication, taping therapy, chuna therapy and physical therapy was performed for pain alleviation, and trigger point steroid injections were also performed. The Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) and the Tsui Score were used for outcome measure of the spasmodic torticollis. After treatment for 15 days, the TWSTRS showed a decrease from 56 to 22.3 and the Tsui score also decreased from 13 to 5.
Conclusions : We concluded that the oriental medical treatment including acupuncture, bee-venum therapy and taping therapy rapidly induced spasmodic torticollis to remission.
