摘要

並列摘要


This case is a 6-year-old boy who has a birth history of preterm. He has seen symptoms of clearing his throat, twisting his nose, and blinking since 2 years ago. The symptoms became more obvious in January, 2021. He was initially diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by Western pediatricians. After the patient used nasal spray, the symptoms were slightly relieved but repeated. During the same month, the pediatrician of the psychiatry department diagnosed him with Tourette syndrome and prescribed clonidine for him. Because the boy became severely drowsy after taking clonidine, his parents decided to seek Chinese medicine treatment. At the first visit, clearing the throat, twisting the nose, blinking, and shrugging the shoulder were seen. He was stubborn, irritable, scatterbrained, and thin. The boy had a bowel movement twice a day, and felt bowel movement immediately after the meal. According to traditional Chinese medicine pattern identification, he is recognized as liver yang transforming into wind, harassing the heart spirit (肝陽化風,上擾心神). The traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are Yi-Gan San and Gan-Mai-Da-Zao Tang. Acupuncture points are Baihui and Shenting. It took one month with 4 treatments from the first visit, and the above symptoms were completely gone. Then he came to our OPD to follow-up one month without relapse. This case was assessed as mild Tourette syndrome by the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), and the final therapeutic efficiency was more than 95%.
