|
|
Objective:The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes of quality of life after reduction of muscluloskeletal pain treated with Korean traditional medicine.
Methods:The authors observed reduction of musculoskeletal pain and recorded pain reduction by VAS. And we surveyed SF-36 twice, admission day and one month later and compared each other.
Results:1. Musculoskeletal pain with Korean traditional medical treatment decresed significantly. 2. As patients’ musculoskeletal pain reduced, all parts of quality of life increased. Especially, the improvement of Bodily Pain(BP), Physical Function(PF), Vitality(VT), Mental Health(MH), General Health(GH) were statistically significant.
Conclusions:Reduction of muscluloskeletal pain improved patient’s physical, mental, emotional and social quality of life. But Social Function(SF) and Role Limitation(RP,RE) were less than others, so we need to develop complementary programs.
