ABSTRACT

Introduction: This study aims to report a significant improvement of Sjögren’s syndrome patient with irritable bladder, diagnosed as ‘Soyangin chest-binding symptomatology’ based on Sasang medicine. Methods: The patient had treatment with ‘Dojeokganggi-tang’ and western medications. We evaluated the treatment outcome of Sjögren’s syndrome symptoms by using a numerical score of 0 to 10, based on the patient’s subjective discomfort of dry eye and dry mouth, and irritable bladder symptoms by recording the number of night urination every month. Results: Sjögren’s syndrome symptoms were significantly improved, and the number of night urination was decreased. After 41 weeks of treatment, the patient didn't have dry mouth any more and had only a little dry eye. The number of night urination was decreased from 3-4 times to once a night. Discussion: The patient diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome, treated with Dojeokganggi-tang and western medications for 41 weeks, showed a significant improvement in dry eye, dry mouth, and night urination compared to the first visit.
