Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this case study was to report that cold hypersensitivity caused by hypothyroidism was alleviated by diagnosing and treating as Greater Yang Disease Reverting Yin Pattern. Methods The patient was administered Insamosuyu-tang and Sammisamyu-tang and treated with acupuncture. Global Assessment Scale (GAS) and Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) was used to assess the improvements of symptoms. Results and Conclusions Cold hypersensitivity of hands and feet was improved to GAS 20, and hours of sleep were increased from one to six. On DITI, the increase of the temperature were 1-3 degree celsius on the chest and the abdomen, 0.2-1 degree on the forearms and the hands, 1-2 degree on the thighs, and 0.2-0.5 degree on the shins and the feet.
