Objectives: The objective of this study was to report the general characteristics, satisfaction, and changes before and after treatment to foreign athletes and officials who were received Korean Medicine at the 2019 Chungju World Martial Arts Masterships Korean Medical Clinic.
Methods: We investigated age, gender, nationality, type of sports, and, onset through medical records. Besides, we developed the patient satisfaction survey to determine how satisfied the patients were with the treatment they received. The survey included type of injury, location of the injury, cause of injury, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after treatment, and treatment satisfaction.
Result: This study showed that knee and lower leg injuries (S80-S89) were the most frequent injuries in the Korean Medicine(KM) clinic of the 2019 Chungju World Martial Arts Masterships. We provided KM treatments including acupuncture, cupping therapy, Chuna manual therapy, herbal medicine, dressing, and taping. Acupuncture was the most frequently performed and the most satisfactory treatment. The average NRS after treatment significantly decreased, suggesting that KM is effective in controlling pain in sports injuries. The overall satisfaction was also high with KM treatments.
