Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study reports on the effectiveness of Korean traditional medicine treatment on a patient with right hip pain caused by obturator nerve entrapment due to ganglion cyst. The patient had been misdiagnosed for a stenosis at the other hospital, but he got a different diagnosis this time with the examination. The patient was treated with Korean traditonal medicine, which includes pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, manual treatment (Chuna), and herbal medicine. Numerical rating scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Euroqol five dimension (EQ-5D) index were used as a objective tool for evaluating the patient's symptoms. After treatment, NRS and ODI were decreased, while EQ-5D index was increased. This study suggests that a combined Korean traditional medicine may be effective in reducing symptoms related to obturator nerve entrapment.
