Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The Sa-am Acupuncture Method which is originated from 17th century is one of Korean traditional acupuncture methods and most widely adopted techniques used by clinicians. This study aims to investigate research trend of Sa-am acupuncture on Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Methods: We searched for papers which had Sa-am acupuncture used in women’s disease in Korean journals published from 1987 to March 2021.
Results: 33 papers were found. 5 clinical studies and 28 case studies were categorized to women’s disease groups described in Korean Obstetrics and Gynecology textbook. In most of the studies, Sa-am acupuncture was used with other treatments. In the case reports, each case was diagnosed individually and Sa-am acupuncture was used according to the diagnoses. The most frequently used Sa-am acupuncture method in women’s diseases was Sojang jung-geuk.
Conclusions: Sa-am acupuncture could be a good treatment for women’s diseases. But evidence of relation between Sa-am acupuncture and the disease is insufficient, so more research will be needed.
