Objective : Because the cause and etiology of chronic headache are not yet fully explained, the treatment of this symptom is not simple. In order to study the effectiveness of East-West pain treatment on chronic headache, we evaluated its effect of pain alleviation and quality of life improvement on chronic headache patients who were treated with nerve block and acupuncture, and only acupuncture for eight weeks. Methods : 92 clinical experiment participants were gathered and through a questionnaire patients who experienced headache for more than 4 hours a day and more than 15 days per month were qualified as chronic headache patients. The qualified patients were classified into two groups, nerve block and acupuncture group(EW group, n=49) and acupuncture group(E group, n=43). Treatment was applied 2 times a weeks for 8 weeks. The acupoints, GV20, HN23, ST8, HN46, TE17, GB20, LI20O, LI11, LI14, ST36, and LR3 were stimulated for 20 minutes. The effects of two groups were analyzed using VAS scores and BPI(Brief Pain Inventory).

목적 : 만성 견비통 환자에 대한 침 치료와 신경 차단술 병행 치료의 효과를 검증하고자 함. 방법 : 만성 견비통 환자 60명을 대상으로 동서병행치료군(EW group, n=20), 한방 침치료군(E group, n=20), 무처치 대조군(C group, n=20)으로 무작위 배정한 후 연구를 시작했다. 동서병행치료군은 먼저 견갑상 신경차단술, 견봉하 주사 및 압통점 국소 마취제를 맞은 후 5분간 휴식을 취한 후 견우($LI_{15}$), 견요($TE_{14}$), 견정(肩井)($GB_{21}$) 및 동씨침의 견중혈(肩中穴)과 신관혈(腎關穴)에 침치료를 주 2회 4주간 받았다. 한방 침치료군은 주 2회, 4주간 견우($LI_{15}$), 견요($TE_{14}$), 견정(肩井)($GB_{21}$) 및 동씨침의 견중혈(肩中穴)과 신관혈(腎關穴)에 침치료를 받았으며, 무처치 대조군은 4주간 특별한 처치를 받지 않았다. 모든 환자들은 일상생활에서 자가 운동을 실시하도록 지시 받았다. 치료 시작전과 치료 4주 후 Constant Shoulder Assessment(CSA), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI), 및 환자의 주관적 통증 평가를 Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) 로 측정하여 모인 데이터 통계를 분석하였다. 결과 : 동서병행치료군 및 한방 침치료군 모두 CSA, SPADI 및 VAS 상에서 유의한 (p<0.05) 호전을 보였다, 동서병행치료군의 CSA, SPADI, VAS는 무처치 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 우의를 나타냈으며, 한방 침 치료군과 비교하여 VAS 에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 결론 : 침치료와 신경차단술 병행 치료방법은 만성 견비통을 유의하게 호전시켰다. 무처치 대조군과의 차이는 3개의 측정 도구 모두에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 침치료만 받은 환자들과도 주관적 통증 척도에서 유의한 차이를 보였다.

Objective : To investigate specific prescriptions, herbal medicines and treatment strategy, this study systematically reviewed case studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for childhood cancer. Method : Literature searches were performed on database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Studies published before December 2020 were categorized and analyzed according to the treatment strategy and we also investigated Chinese herbs used in the prescriptions. Results : Twenty-five studies including 17 case series and 8 single case reports were included in our review. Of the total 439 patients, 379 (85.7%) had leukemia and other myeloplastic disease. Conventional western medicine (CWM) treatment was also used with TCM based on the syndrome identification. Most studies reported favorable effect of combination treatment with CWM and TCM. Among 266 herbs in the studies, reinforcing herbs were more frequently used than anti-cancer herbs. Conclusion : Traditional herbal treatment for childhood cancer should be performed considering the syndrome identification as well as stage of CWM. Reinforcing herbs should be more focused because of the fragility and growth of the childhood.
