Abstract

Tietze syndrome is a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by chest pain at
costochondral junction with an idiopathic etiology. A patient came to the Central
Ayurved Hospital Nardevi with an excruciating pain since 5 months. Patient
stated that the several medications were tried without any success. Patient was
further assessed via radiologically and laboratory. Results were within normal
limits. Hence, patient was given 12 sessions of acupuncture along with cupping
as the means for pain management. Patient was initially assessed via VAS (Visual
Analogue Scale) before the commencement of the treatment session. This case
demonstrates that the acupuncture can be an effective treatment approach for
the management of Tietze syndrome.
