Objectives :The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of pharmacopuncture treatment with chuna treatment for neck pain caused by traffic accidents.
Methods :This study was carried out on the 82 patients with neck pain caused by traffic accidents. The patients were divided into 2 groups; Pharmacopuncture(PA) group was treated by pharmacopuncture treatment. Chuna(CN) group was treated by chuna treatment. Also both groups treated by general acupuncture and herb-medicine treatment. We measured visual analog scale(VAS) before the treatment and 2, 4 weeks later. Also neck disability index(NDI) measured before the treatment and 4 weeks later.
Results :In results, NDI and VAS scores were improved after 4 weeks later in both groups. There were no significant difference between NDI and VAS scores after 4 weeks later in both groups. However, in the second period(from 2 to 4 weeks treatment) CN group showed significant diffrence as compared to PA group in VAS scores.
Conclusions :In this study, there were no significant difference between pharmacopuncture treatment and chuna treatment for neck pain caused by traffic accidents. However, in the second period(from 2 to 4 weeks treatments) chuna treatment was more effective than pharmacopuncture treatment for neck pain by traffic accidents.
