Objectives : The purpose of this study was to analyze randomized controlled trials(RCTs) related to the effect and safety of Korean Traditional Medicine treatment for postpartum pain, and to suggest desirable future clinical research trend.
Methods : Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) on postpartum pain were searched using domestic and foreign search engines in order to investigate the effect and safety of Korean Traditional Medicine on postpartum pain, and 12 studies were selected as a result.
Results : There were 4 studies using Acupoint Therapy, 3 studies using Herbal Medicine, 3 studies using Using Acupoint Therapy and Herbal Medicine together, and 2 studies using Manipulative Therapy for postpartum pain. As control interventions, non-treatment, other Korean Traditional Medicine treatment, or Western medicine were used. All the studies reported a significant effect in experimental group compared to the control group, with no or minor side effects.
Conclusions : Korean Traditional Medicine treatment showed effectiveness and safety for postpartum pain. In the future, it is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity of recruiting subjects and to study the most effective application method of Korean Traditional Medicine treatment for postpartum pain.
