Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the latest trends of korean Medicine treatments on traffic accident for recent 5 years.
Methods : We investigated the studies on korean Medicine treatments for traffic accident via searching 6 Korean web
databases. As a result, 65 research papers were found to be analyzed according to their published year, the titles of journals, the types of study, the number of cases, the sites of injury, the types of treatments the instruments for assessment and ethics approvals.
Results : 65 articles were published since 2008. The studies on korean Medicine treatments about traffic accident were
mainly published in Journal of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine. 10 case studies, 14 case series, 11 non randomized controlled trials, 21 randomized controlled trials and 9 systemic reviews had been under research. The most frequently occurred symptoms were neck pain and low back pain. In most studies, various korean Medicine treatments were used to treat the symptoms. Visual analogue scale(VAS) and neck disability index(NDI) were used as primary assessments. In most clinical studies, there were no mention about approval of institutional review board(IRB).
Conclusion : In this study, we analyzed the trends of korean Medicine treatments on traffic accident from 2008 to 2012.
Reviewing the domestic trends of studies on korean Medicine treatments for traffic accident and examining the strong and
weak points of those treatments are essential for the future studies. It is needed to adopt the qualitative methods of evaluation in order to develop a level of evidence.
