Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study is to report the effect of combined acupuncture treatment on acute ankle sprain patients. The subjects included in this study were 15 acute ankle sprain patients who visited Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine from Oct. 15th, 2012 to Feb. 8th, 2013. We treated 15 patients with combined acupuncture treatment. The treatment con-sisted of Hwangrunhaedok-tang (Huanglianjiedutang) pharmacupuncture, electroacupunc-ture (applied to GB39, ST36 on the affected side), acupuncture (applied to TE17, SI6 on the unaffected side with Dong-Qi therapy). To assess the effect of treatment, the numeric rating scale (NRS) was applied before and after treatment. After first combined acupuncture treat-ment, the NRS scores significantly decreased from 8.33±0.94 to 2.26±0.44 (p＜0.01). We suggested that Combined acupuncture treatment are effective and useful on acute an-kle sprain. And, further studies will be needed.
