Objectives: The objective of this study is to report 4 patients who had vertebral compression fracture after traffic accident, that had a complex korean medical admission treatment.
Methods: In this study we collected the data of traffic accident patients that came to receive intense Korean medical treatment, and had compression fracture of the lumbar spine. A total of 4 patients were studied and we compared the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and the Pain-Free Walking Distance (PFWD) at addmission date and 19th day of hospitalization.
Results: After receiving an average of 22.25 days of admission treatment, all patients showed a significant decrease in VAS scores and increase in PFWD. The median VAS score at date of admission was 6.5 (VAS 6~9) and decreased to 3.5 (VAS 3~5), median PFWD was 37.5 (30~45) m and increased to 435 (420~450) m.
Conclusions: After complex korean medicine admission treatment, 4 patients with vertebral compression fracture caused by traffic accident showed decrease of pain and increase of walking distance. But there is a need for further studys to be done on treatment methods and evaluation methods.
