본 논문은 양약 복용 후 추체외로증후군을 나타낸 정신분열형 장애 환자에게 EFT 요법과 한방치료를 병행하여 치료한 치험 1례에 관한 것으로,
주요 내용은 가장 흔한 정신 질환 중 하나로 알려진 정신분열증의 전단계인 정신분열형 장애에 대한 한약의 치료 효과와 양약의 부작용 감소 효과를 조사 하였다.
환청을 호소하는 정신분열형 장애로 진단받은 환자를 한약과 침술로 치료하여 증상 개선에 대해 매일 기록하였고,
환자의 불안증을 조절하기 위한 Emotional Freedom Techniques(감정 자유 기법, EF)을 사용하였다. 환청과 추체외로 증후군 증상이 사라졌다.
환자의 불안증은 EFT 요법에 의하여 효과적으로 조절되었다.
위 결과로부터 한방 치료는 정신분열형 장애의 임상 증상 치료에 효과적이었고, 양약의 부작용을 감소시켰다는 내용이다.
