Objectives: To evaluate the effect of iliopsoas muscles energy techniques(MET) combined with Korean medicine treatment in genital pain and other symptoms caused by lumbar disc herniation.
Methods: To evaluate the pain and function, visual analog scale(VAS), oswestry disability index(ODI), manual muscle test(MMT), straight leg raising test(SLRT) was measured.
Results: After treatment of 6 weeks, lower back pain declined from VAS 9 to 4, leg pain from VAS 6 to 3, genital pain from VAS 6 to 1. ODI score reduced from 84 to 37.78. MMT improved from Ⅲ/Ⅴ to Ⅴ/Ⅴ, and SLRT recovered from 30/50 to 70/70.
Conclusions: Treatment of iliopsoas MET and Korean medicine treatment is effective for genital pain and other symptoms caused by lumbar disc herniation. But further studies are required.
