【Summary】
This 36-year-old male diagnosed as Ankylosing spondylitis, and his chief symptoms of back pain, pitching, and morning stiffness bothered him. Due to these discomforts, he came to Taipei Veterans General Hospital on Feb 10, 2020 for Chinese herbal medicine therapy. The Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM) pattern included “Phlegm, dampness, heat and blood stasis blocking tendons and veins” , “stomach disharmony”, “Liver depression transforms fire” and “Liver and kidney deficiency”, while its treatment is “Clearing heat for removing dampness” , “Promoting blood circulation for removing obstruction in collaterals”, “Harmonizing stomach and lowering adverse qi”, “Soothing the liver and clearing heat” and “Nourishing the liver and kidney”. After following up about 11 times, the patient effectively improved the symptoms of waist soreness, pitching, morning stiffness, general numbness and other symptoms. The patient did not take conventional medicine after TCM therapy, and this Case report showed that TCM therapy could relieve the symptoms of Ankylosing spondylitis without conventional medicine. It could provide another new concept for TCM therapy.
