ABSTRACT
Orthostatic dysregulation is also a social problem as a disease of puberty today, and its treatment has attracted attention. Ten cases suspected to be orthostatic dysregulation based on diagnostic criteria of Society of Pediatric Psychology were diagnosed and treated with Kampo medicine, and all improvements were made. After analyzing 10 cases, Symptomcomplex resulting from blood stagnation (血証), Disorders of the body's water metabolism (水毒), Psychosomatic factors (心身症的要因) were found as a background to cause orthostatic dysregulation. In these backgrounds, kamishoyosan, unkeito, and tokishakuyakusan were prescribed for symptom-complex resulting from blood stagnation. Goreisangokumibinroto and ryokeijutsukanto were prescribed for disorders of the body's water metabolism. Saikokeishito and saibokuto were prescribed for the psychosomatic factors. Therapeutic effect of modern medical treatment is insufficient. It is considered that medical diagnosis and treatment with Kampo medicine is very effective.
