Objectives : This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Bee Venom acupuncture therapy on sprain of C-spine by randomized controlled double blinding method. Methods : A randomized double blinding study of bee venom acupuncture therapy was conducted on sprain of C-spine. We divided sprain of C-spine patient into 2 groups: one group with both acupuncture and saline acupuncture therapy, and another group with both acupuncture and bee venom acupuncture therapy. To estimate the efficacy of treatment that applied for two groups, we used visual analog scale(VAS) and neck disability index(NDI). We compared the VAS and NDI score of two groups statistically. Results : STZ induced increase of serum creatinine, BUN and albumin secretion were lowered by AD-1 treatment.
