Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study was performed to assess the effectiveness of Korean medicinal treatments including Antaeeum-gamibang on posterior neck pain and lower back pain caused by traffic accidents during pregnancy.
Methods: Patients were treated by Antaeeum-gamibang, acupuncture and Chuna manual therapy. To measure treatment outcomes, Numerical rating scale (NRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Neck disability index (NDI), European Quality of
Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5d), and range of motion (ROM) were used.
Results: After treatment, the average NRS of posterior neck pain significantly decreased from 4.20±1.30 to 1.80±0.45 and the average NRS of lower back pain significantly decreased from 6.40±1.14 to 2.20±0.84. ODI significantly decreased from
41.42±17.79 to 28.29±14.69, NDI significantly decreased from 34.93±9.85 to 20.27±8.96. EQ-5d and ROM improved at all cases.
Conclusions: Korean Medicinal treatments including Antaeeum-gamibang may be effective in the treatment of posterior neck pain and lower back pain caused by traffic accidents during pregnancy. However, more case reports and studies are
required to identify exactly what treatment is more efficient.
