Methods : Reviewing 33 domestic oriental medical studies about meridian muscle, and comparative analysis was made. These studies were classified by method, theme and subtitle.
Results : 1. According to the classification by study method, number of literary studies are 22(67%), which is more than half, number of experimental studies are 5(15%) and clinical studies are 6(18%). 2. According to the classification by study theme in literary study, percentage of ’Structure amp; Movement of Meridian Muscle’ took 64%, Theory study of Meridian Muscle’ took 14%, ’Application of Concept of Meridian Muscle’ took 14%, ’Treatment of Meridian Muscle disorder’ took 9% arranged in order. 3. In ’Theory study of Meridian Muscle’, there were not only literary approaches but also Deficiency-Excessiveness(虛實) and historical approaches. Study about ’Structure & Movement of Meridian Muscle’ includes analysis of muscle and Myofascial pain syndrome. On this background, it is necessary to recognize the linkage and motion analysis of Meridian Muscle. Therefore, studies were changed into interpretation about Anatomy trains, analysis of motion. The study about ’Treatment of Meridian Muscle disorder’ provided the various treatment method-Acupuncture, Manual therapy, Ashi(阿是)-point therapy, CHUNA therapy etc.- in literary study. The study about the ’Application of Concept of Meridian Muscle’ has been performed in relation to Embedding Therapy, Kyungkuen chuna, Ki-gong therapy. 4. Experimental Studies were all Anatomical Studies. Studies were done in trial of discovering the actual existence, but revealed problem in interpretating the meaning of Meridian Muscle. 5. Clinical Studies based on Ashi(阿是)-point therapy CHUNA Muscles Along Meridians Release Therapy etc, were performed. Experimental studies about Meridian Muscle were assessed as low grade according to Jadad Scale. There were no studies which were based on well-organized Meridian Muscle theory.
