Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the heating-conduction acupuncture therapy on the postpartum low back pain patients. Methods : Heating-conduction acupuncture therapy was administered three and four times on three postpartum low back pain patients. The improvement of clinical symptoms was evaluated by SF-MPQ(short form-McGill pain questionnarie), VAS(visual analogue scale) and ODI(oswestry disability index). Results : After treatment, each three patients' SF-MPQ, VAS and ODI score reduced respectively. Conclusions : Heating-conduction acupuncture therapy for postpartum low back pain patients was effective. Although this cases presented valuable result, further research is encouraged to confirm the effectiveness of this treatment.

전열침요법을 출산 후 장요인대 등 천장관절 부위의 인대 손상으로 인한 산후 요통을 호소하는 환자에 적용하여 호전된 3례를 통하여 전열침요법이 인대 손상으로 인한 산후 요통 환자 치료에 유효한 효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 전열침요법을 인대 손상으로 인한 산후 질환에 적용하면 양호한 임상 결과를 가져올 것으로 기대되며, 향후 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
