관절염에 대한 스테로이드의 관절강내 주사는 전신적인 부작용 등의 위험성이 적으면서 간편하고 경제적이며 비교적 양호한 항염효과를 얻을 수 있어 단일관절의 RA 또는 퇴행성 관절염에서 활액막의 염증증상이 있을 때 또는 보존적 치료에 반응하지 않는 경우 비교적 많이 사용된다. 하지만 이러한 스테로이드요법은 여러가지 만성 질환에서 과도한 염증이나 면역반응 자체를 치료하는 것이 아니라 부수되는 이차적 증상만을 완화시켜 주기 때문에 장기간의 스테로이드제 투여는 절병의 경과를 교정 하거나 변화시키지 못하고 예후에 악영향을 미칠 수도 있다. 또한 심각한 여러 부작용들을 야기할 수도 있다. 저자는 스테로이드 관절강내 주사에 호전되지 않은 부종과 통증을 주소로 하는 슬관절염 환자에 대해, 피하 봉독요법으로 양호한 효과를 얻었으며, 또한 기존에 알려져 있는 것처럼 당뇨병환자에게서 봉독요법이 혈당치를 지속적으로 높인다는 주장에 대해 다른 결과를 경험하였으므로 문헌조사와 함께 보고하는 바이다.

장요인대 염좌 환자 2명에게 전열침 치료를 시행하여 통증 강도가 증가하였지만 봉독약침 치료를 시행한 후 통증 강도와 요추 가동범위 및 이학적 검진상에서 호전되었음을 보고한다. 이와 같이 봉독약침에 의해 호전 될 수 있는, 염증성 병변을 내재하였거나 진행 될 가능성이 있는 환자에 대한 사전의 감별 진단에 대한 연구 및 전열침 치료의 효과 및 부작용에 대한 체계적인 연구가 추후에 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
