Abstract

Objectives Dyspnea due to neuromuscular disease is very rare in the complementary medicine field. The purpose of this study is to report a case which showed sypmtoms improvement after treatment with Sohaphyang-won. Methods To evaluate the results of this treatment, number of days which the patient had dyspnea, results of an Arterial blood gas analysis, and the patient's lab reports were measured. Results The patient who suffered from severe sudden dyspnea and applying mechanical ventilator, was treated by Sohaphyang-won and acupuncture therapy for about 2 months. He had been diagnosed as dyspnea caused by neuromuscular disease, which in Western medicine there was no specific treatment. But after treated with Sohaphyang-won and acupuncture, his frequency of dyspnea decreased. Conclusions This study suggests that using Sasang constitutuional medical treatment is effective for Soeumin patient with dyspnea induced by neuromuscular disease.
