Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The present study examines the domestic trend of Chuna manual therapy on cervical spinal disorders in Korea.
Methods: We investigated the studies on Chuna manual therapy for cervical spinal disorders via searching 6 Korean web
databases. As a result, 51 research papers were found to be analyzed according to their published year, published institution, the titles of journals, the types of study, the techniques of Chuna, the instruments for assessment, the Chuna technique and the number of the treatment trials by the cases of cervical spinal disorders and ethical approvals.
Results: The number of the research papers published tended to increase every year. The studies on Chuna manual therapy for cervical spinal disorders were mainly published in The Journal of Korea CHUNA Manual Medicine for Spine & Nerves. The most frequently adopted technique of Chuna in the examined studies was Chuna spine manipulation therapy - cervical spine technique. Visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index(NDI) were used as primary means of assessments. The ethical problems of the examined studies needed to be improved.
Conclusions: Reviewing the domestic trend of studies on Chuna manual therapy for cervical spinal disorders and examining the strong and weak points of those treatments are essential for the future studies. It is anticipated that this review benefits the future in-depth study on the treatments for Chuna in Korean medicine.
