Objectives : The purpose of this study was to compare clinical effectiveness of Chuna therapy and Pharmacopuncture combination treatment and Pharmacopuncture treatment on the patients with neck pain and low back pain caused by traffic accidents.
Methods : A total of 20 hospitalized patients with neck pain and low back pain caused by traffic accidents from June 2019 to December 2019 were included in this study. These patients were divided into to groups, CP group and P group, of 10 patients each. CP group was treated with both Chuna therapy and Pharmacopuncture, and P group was treated with Pharmacopuncture but not Chuna therapy. Visual Analog Scale(VAS), Neck Disability Index(NDI), and Patient's Global Impression of Change(PGIC) were used for the evaluation of neck pain, and VAS, Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), PGIC were used for the evaluation of low back pain.
Results : In neck pain, VAS and NDI scores were significantly decreased after treatment in both CP group and P group. There was no significant difference in VAS, NDI, PGIC scores before and after treatment between the two groups. In low back pain, both the VAS and ODI scores decreased significantly after treatment in CP group. But in P group, only the VAS score decreased significantly after treatment, and the ODI score did not. CP group has significantly lower ODI values compared to the P group after treatment. There was no significant difference in PGIC between groups.
Conclusion : According to the results of this study, it was suggested that both Chuna therapy and Pharmacopuncture combination treatment and Pharmacopuncutre treatment are effective for pain relief and functional recovery in case of neck pain. In case of low back pain, it was suggested that Chuna and Pharmacopuncture combination treatment is effective for both pain relief and functional recovery, and Pharmacopuncture treatment is effective in pain relief.
