Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical application of chuna for thoracic in the patients with nuchal pain.
Methods : Seven patients were treated by chuna for thoracic to evaluate the effect of the treatment. The patient’s symptoms were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI) and cervical lordotic curvature.
Results : In all cases, the pain was reduced according to VAS, NDI. Cervical lordotic curvature of 6 cases were improved in terms of Jackson’s angle. 5 cases were improved in terms of Depth of cervical curve and Method of Jochumsen. 4 cases were improved in terms of Angle of cervical curve (C2∼C7) and Ishihara index. 3 cases were improved in terms of Angle of cervical curve (C1∼C7).
Conclusions : These results suggest that chuna on thoracic might be an effective method to treat nuchal pain with extension malposition of thoracic. But, it’s necessary to have more observations and experiments.
