中醫治療不寧腿症候群之病例報告

這是一位旅居加拿大溫哥華30多年的68歲王小姐的中醫醫案。自述：25歲生子產後，因乳房發脹疼痛（懷疑診斷：急性乳腺炎），婆婆教其用冰塊冰鎮雙乳房，雙手持握冰塊約一個小時，自認這是造成日後困惱40多年痼疾的主因。主訴：每晚入睡後約1-2小時，經常發生3-5次不等的雙下肢大抖動、且伴隨夜眠中斷多次，白天不發生。長期困惱，海內外尋醫罔效。治療經過：王小姐在短短7週內，耐心接受醫師診療慣用的三種中醫療法，大幅改善病情。本醫案提早健保局於2021年3月啟動新制的「複雜性針灸適應症」，提供患者多方位的治療方法。後記：王小姐為痊癒表示感謝，致贈施醫師一本「佛教概觀史表」、及頌持有靈驗感應的「日本蓮華經」，以誌謝。

This was a Chinese medicine case of a 68-year-old Miss Wang who had lived in Vancouver, Canada for more than 30 years. Self-report: After giving birth at the age of 25, due to breast swelling and pain (suspected diagnosis: acute mastitis), her mother-in-law taught her to use ice cubes to cool her breasts and hold the ice cubes in both hands for about an hour. She believed that this was a chronic disease that caused trouble for more than 40 years in the future chiefly. Chief complaint: After falling asleep about 1-2 hours every night, there were often 3-5 times of large shaking of the lower limbs, and many interruptions of night sleep, which did not occur during the daytime. Long-term trouble, seeking doctors at home and abroad was ineffective. Treatment process: In just 7 weeks, Ms. Wang patiently accepted the three traditional Chinese medicine treatments commonly used by Dr. Shih, which greatly improved her condition. In this medical case, the National Health Insurance Bureau launched a new ＂complex acupuncture indication＂ in March of 2021 to provide patients with multi-faceted treatment methods. Postscript: Ms. Wang expressed her gratitude for her recovery, and presented Dr. Shih with a ＂Buddhism Overview History Form＂ and the ＂Japanese Lotus Sutra＂ with a spiritual inspiration. Thank you for this.
