Objectives: To report the effectiveness of a comprehensive Korean medical approach, incorporating acupuncture, herbal medicine, Chuna therapy, and traditional Korean psychotherapy, in the management of a patient with cerebellar ataxia and major depressive disorder. Methods: A 45-year-old female patient diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia and major depressive disorder received a comprehensive Korean medicine treatment, including acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, Chuna therapy, and traditional Korean psychotherapy such as Giungoroen therapy, IiGyeungByunQi therapy, M&L therapy, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The efficacy was assessed through both subjective symptom reports and a range of psychological assessment tools, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), Korean Symptom Checklist-95 (KSCL-95), Korean Beck Depression Inventory-II (K-BDI-II), Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory XYZ form (STAI-XYZ), Korean version of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-K), Padua Inventory-Washington State University Revision (PI-WSUR), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), and the Korean Version of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI-K). Results: Throughout treatment, the patient experienced marked improvements in physical symptoms, notably dizziness, and gait instability. Psychological evaluations demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The overall quality of life was enhanced, with sustained benefits observed during follow-up assessments. Conclusions: This case suggests that a comprehensive Korean medicine approach that integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, Chuna therapy, and traditional Korean psychotherapy may be effective in alleviating both physical and psychological symptoms associated with cerebellar ataxia and major depressive disorder.

가족 간의 갈등으로 인해 발생한 두부진전이 4-5년간 지속된 환자에게 한약물과 한방정신요법을 시행하여 증상의 유발과 악화인자에 대한 통찰을 하고 조절할 수 있는 통제력을 가지게하여 증상을 완화되었고, 수개월이 지난 지금까지 호전상태가 지속되는 것을 경험하였다. 심인성 운동장애는 전체 운동장애 중 2-3% 정도로 드물게 일어나며, 진전이 가장 흔한 형태이기는 하나 상하지에 많이 발생하고, 두부에만 국한적으로 일어나는 경우는 드물다. 이에 상기 증례는 다른 신경학적 증상을 동반하지 않고 두부에만 국한적으로 진전이 발생한 환자에게 한의학적 치료를 하여 유효한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.
