Objectives: This study aimed to report the effectiveness and outcome on the prognosis of pregnancy of traditional Korean medicine treatment for inpatients who had a traffic accident during pregnancy.
Methods: The study is conducted by analyzing the medical records of hospitalized patients in a Korean medicine hospital. Seventy-six pregnant patients who got into car accidents from March 2015 to February 2020 were included. We performed statistical analysis by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS) ver. 25.0. To verify the effect of traditional Korean medicine treatment for traffic accidents during pregnancy, we analyzed improvement of symptoms. Also, we analyzed the prognosis of pregnancy and signs of premature birth or miscarriage during treatment to verify the applicability of traditional Korean medicine treatment for traffic accidents during pregnancy.
Results: Among the symptoms of pain, there was a statistically significant decrease in lower back pain, post neck pain, headache, pelvic pain, knee pain, lower limb pain, wrist pain, and upper limb pain. Other systemic symptoms showed statistically significant improvement in nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, and lower limb numbness. All confirmed cases reported normal pregnancy maintenance and delivery, and no miscarriage was reported. Two cases that showed signs of premature birth or miscarriage during treatment were unrelated or unclear with traditional Korean medicine treatment.
Conclusions: Traditional Korean medicine treatment is effective and applicable for pregnant women injured by traffic accidents. Further studies are needed to identify the effectiveness and safety of traditional Korean medicine treatment for the sequelae of traffic accidents during pregnancy.
