FCST의 음양균형장치를 이용한 연축성 사경증 증례보고

Cervical Dystonia Cases Managed by Yinyang Balancing Appliance for FCST, Functional Cerebro Spinal Therapy of TMJ

본 증례에서는 원인불명의 전신 연축성 사경증과 강박장애를 동반한 경부 연축성 사경증의 두 증례에 대해 음양균형장치를 포함한 표준형 구강내 균형장치, 침구치료, 한약처방, 골반교정 등 복합치료를 통해 뚜렷한 치유효과를 관찰했다. 음양균형장치와 표준형구강내 균형장치 등 턱관절의 균형조절을 통한 기능적뇌척주요법의 치료가 경추와 흉추의 구조변화는 물론 전신자세에도 긍정적인 변화를 주고 있음을 관찰했다.

Objectives: Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in cervical dystonia cases. Methods: Two cervical dystonia cases were managed with the Yinyang Balancing Appliance on temporomandibular joint(TMJ), combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and clinical observations. Results: The patients showed positive changes even after the initial treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. Conclusions: Although it is not clear the effect is a sustaining or temporary in its nature, a positive effect was observed and further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.
