초록
Objective: We report a clinical case of cold hypersensitivity which was notably improved with the administration of Ongyeong-tang (溫經湯). Methods: A 68-year-old female patient presented with severe cold hypersensitivity in the lower abdomen, as well as in both hands and feet, without any observable skin color change. Ongyeong-tang modification was prescribed based on the pattern diagnosis of “upper body heat and lower body cold”. Digital infrared thermographic imaging (DITI) and numeric rating scale (NRS) were utilized for evaluation. Results: After approximately 12 weeks of treatment, her overall coldness notably improved from 8 to 1 in NRS, as evidenced by changes in surface temperature observed through DITI. A follow-up assessment conducted after the discontinuation of Ongyeong-tang confirmed that the improvement in her symptoms was well-maintained. No adverse effects or abnormal laboratory findings were observed. Conclusion: The long-term administration of Ongyeong-tang may serve as a safe and effective option for treating cold hypersensitivity, particularly in cases associated with “upper body heat and lower body cold”.
