Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to report five patients with a sternum fracture after a traffic accident who improved with a combination of Korean medicine treatments. Methods : We collected data of traffic accident patients with a sternum fracture who were admitted to Dae-Jeon Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital from March 2019 to September 2019. We observed five cases of patients treated with acupuncture, pharmacoacupuncture, herbal medicine, and Korean physical therapy. We measured the validity of the treatments using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and European Quality of Life-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) at admission, at two weeks, and on the discharge date of hospitalization. Results : Following treatment using a combination of the above mentioned methods, the general overall condition of the patients had significantly improved. Furthermore, the NRS and EQ-5D scores were numerically better. Conclusions : After the combination of Korean medicine treatments, results from five patients with a sternum fracture after a traffic accident suggested that the treatments were effective. However, the number of subjects was insufficient and individual efficacy was not measured in this study. Therefore, further studies are needed on this topic.
