Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate clinical effects of Chuna treatment on the neck pain patient with hypolordotic cervical spine.
Methods: From June 2006 to August 2006, 20 cases of neck pain patient with hypolordotic cervical spine were divided into 2 groups. Control group(n=10) was treated only acupuncture therapy, and sample group(n=10) was treated Chuna after acupuncture therapy same as control group. Degrees of pain were measured with Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), and the change of cervical curvature was assessed Depth of cervical curve, Method of Jochumsen, and Angle of cervical curve.
Results: 1. After 3th and 5th treatment, there was statistical significance between control and sample group in VAS. 2. After 5th treatment, there was not statistical significance between control and sample group in Depth of cervical curve, Method of Jochumsen, and Angle of cervical curve.
Conclusions: On treating the neck pain patient with hypolordotic cervical spine, Chuna treatment is more effective than only acupuncture therapy in reducing neck pain, but Chuna treatment for short-term is not more effective than only acupuncture therapy in restoring cervical curvature.
