Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze trends of domestic research in Korean medicine treatment for rotator cuff tear. Methods Among the clinical papers published before March 2024, we used five databases for searching researches; Korean studies Information Service System, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, Research Information Sharing Service, KMbase, ScienceON. Results 11 studies were finally selected. Acupuncture was used as a treatment in all 11 studies and pharmacopucture was used in 7 studies. Visual analogue scale and range of motion were frequently used as measurement tools. Most of the studies were case reports. Conclusions This study is a review about literatures on Korean medicine treatment for rotator cuff tear. In order to develop treatment and diagnosis of rotator cuff tear in the Korean medicine, more clinical studies with higher level of evidence should be conducted in the near future.
