Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze both treatment and adverse events of Korean medicine treatment for whiplash associated disorder patients during pregnancy. Methods: We investigated the medical records of 44 pregnant patients who had got into car accidents from April 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019. Results: 100 percent of the inpatients and 88 precent of the outpatients were treated by acupuncture. 79 percent of the inpatients and 72 precent of the outpatients were treated by chuna, and 86 percent of the inpatients and 64 precent of the outpatients were treated by pharmacopuncture. Out of 32 patients with low back pain, 94 percent were treated by acupuncture, 47 percent by phramacopuncture and 38 precent by chuna. 90 percent of 31 patients with cervical pain were treated by acupuncture, 71 percent were treated by pharmacopuncture and 77 percent were treated by chuna. There were adverse events like cough, rhinorrhea, dilatation of cervix and worsen low back pain during or after the treatment. Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment including chuna and pharmacopuncture can be applied to pregnant women injured by traffic accident.
