Abstract

|
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Korean medicine treatment (including acupuncture, herbal medication, and pharmacopuncture) for postoperative pain after cervical surgery in a patient with a cervical (C2) extension teardrop fracture. We measured the patient’s cervical range of motion, neck disability index score and numerical rating scale score to evaluate the effects of Korean medicine treatment on postoperative pain after cervical surgery. After 43 days of inpatient treatment, the patient’s neck disability index score decreased from 75.5 to 46.67 and the numerical rating scale decreased from 6 to 2. Furthermore, recovery was observed for cervical range of motion. In conclusion, this case suggests that Korean traditional medicine treatment may effectively reduce postoperative pain after cervical surgery for cerviecal extension teardrop fracture.
