AB - Objectives :The aim of this study was to observe the pain relief effect of moxibustion therapy in a patient with complex regional pain syndrome(CRPS). Methods :A male with typeⅠ CRPS, 48-year-old, who suffered from severe pain and paresthesia on his legs despite of treatments of oral medications and spinal cord stimulation was treated by indirect moxibustion following Korean medicine diagnosis. Total 20 moxibustion treatments(once daily, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks) were given on the 4 acupoints(both side) where known to be effective for the CRPS. Visual analogue scale(VAS), digital infrared thermal imaging(DITI), Beck depression index(BDI) were evaluated before and after the treatments. Pain relief, thermal changes on affected legs, and improvement of depression scale were observed after the treatments. Results :As for DITI, right thigh showed low temperature compared with left one before the treatments. While after the treatments, DITI showed similar temperature in both legs at discharge day. Conclusions :Though it is a case report, moxibustion therapy might have pain relief effect. Further rigorous case series and controlled trials are warranted.
