Abstract

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the difference of treatment effect between Oriental Medicine theraphy and Oriental and Western Medicine combination theraphy on low back pain patients. Methods: We divided 40 low back pain patients into 2 groups. The Group I was treated with Oriental Medicine theraphy and the Group II was treated with Oriental and Western Medicine combination theraphy. We evaluated visual analogue scale(VAS) score before and after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment. Results: The VAS score of Group I and Group II after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment was significantly lower than before treatment. But there was no significant difference between two groups after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment. Conclusions: In this study, there was no significant difference between the two groups after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment on low back pain patients. Further studies are needed for the comparison of Oriental Medicine theraphy and Oriental and Western Medicine combination theraphy.
