Objectives : To examine the effects of the collaborative Oriental and Western medicine, we treated a gouty arthritis patient with acute inflammation and liver injury with a combination of Oriental and Western treatments. Methods : Acupuncture, Bangphungtongsung-San(Fangfengtongsheng-san)', 'Kangwhaljetong-Um(Qianghuochutong-yin)', and 'Sosiho-Tang(Xiaochaihu-tang) were offered to an acute gouty arthritis patient with NSAIDs, Corticosteroids and allopurinol.
