Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the efficacy of using Korean medicine treatment for depression induced by Plica syndrome operation and worsen by a traffic accident. Methods: We treated a patient's depression with Korean medicine treatments (Uwhangchungsimwon, acupuncture, pharmacoacupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, interferential current therapy). To evaluate the results of this treatment, we measured Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), EuroQol-Five Dimensions (EQ-5D), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Results: Improvements of BDI, EQ-5D, NRS, ODI and WOMAC were observed after the treatments. Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medicine treatment for depression may be effective.
