Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment methods of chronic pelvic pain, which have no definite treatment methods, and to provide basic data on clinical trials and clinical practical guideline in Korean Medicine related to chronic pelvic pain. Methods: The key words such as 'pelvic pain', 'pelycalgia' are used for the research through 'OASIS, KTKP, RISS, DBpia, KISS'. Total 6 studies were analyzed. Results: 6 studies were chronic pelvic pain case reports. Case reports 6 studies covered a total of 11 cases. Of these, 4 cases related to adenomyosis, 3 cases of endometriosis, and 2 cases of ovarian cyst. However, there were many cases in which the causative disease was not clear. In addition, the majority of the studies reported on the progress of hospitalization, and all studies used herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. The duration of treatment ranged from 5 to 30 days for hospitalization and 5 months for outpatient treatment. The most commonly used meridian is Conception Vessel (任脈), and SP6 (三陰交) was the most frequently used acupuncture treatment. The herbal medicine Banchong-san (蟠蔥散) was generally prescribed. Conclusions: The effect on treatment of Korean Medicine for chronic pelvic pain had mostly positive results. However, the number of searched studies, which are insufficient for design or analysis of study, is very limited. We hope that this study will be useful for further clinical studies of chronic pelvic pain.
