Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Chuna Craniosacral therapy on headaches. Methods : 1. A combination of keywords, such as headache and Chuna Craniosacral therapy, were searched based on studies published in 11 databases (Pubmed, CAJ, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, KMBASE, KISS, KISTI, NDSL, RISS and DBPIA) up to October 31st, 2019. 2. The subjects were randomized controlled clinical studies using Chuna Craniosacral therapy. 3. We used the Cochrane perverse assessment tools for quality assessment. Results : 1. Six randomized controlled clinical studies were selected, and all 404 patients were evaluated. 2. As a result of the meta-analysis, Chuna Craniosacral therapy and scalp acupuncture showed no difference in treatment effect. 3. Chuna Craniosacral therapy showed a significant difference in treatment effect compared to Maitlands mobilization. 4. Chuna Craniosacral therapy showed a partial difference in treatment effect compared to low intensity magnetotherapy. 5. Chuna Craniosacral therapy group showed a significant effect on pain reduction compared to the untreated group. 6. All six papers showed a high degree of bias risk, with no mention of side effects or adverse events. Conclusion : This study provided only a limited assessment of the curative effects of Chuna Craniosacral therapy's headache treatment. However, there was no mention of side effects, and given the therapeutic effects analyzed in individual papers, it is believed that Craniosacral therapy can be used safely to treat headaches.

Objectives This study investigated the trends in domestic and international clinical research in craniosacral therapy, classified as a type of Chuna manual therapy, and suggested further directions in Korean medicine. Methods This scoping review was performed using the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework and preferred reporting items as per the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews checklist. Eight electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Koreanstudies Information Service System [KISS], KMBASE, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS], Research Information Sharing Service [RISS], ScienceON) were searched to identify articles with the search terms "craniosacral therapy" and "cranial osteopathy" until December 2021. Results Forty-five studies were eligible as per our inclusion criteria. Most research studies (n=44) were conducted in the field of medicine and pharmacy, especially in rehabilitation medicine (n=16). As a result of the study design, randomized controlled trials (n=20) were the most common, and chronic pain (n=9) was the most frequently targeted disease, followed by headache (n=7). Thirty-two studies suggested interventions and 20 studies used Upledger's 10-step protocol. The average duration of craniosacral therapy was 41 min per session, administered 1.4 times per week. Outcome measurements were analyzed and categorized with the examination procedure for the patient. Conclusions This is the first scoping review of craniosacral therapy in Korea, and we believe that our findings could support its utility as Chuna. In the future, more studies should be conducted to establish the evidence of clinical efficacy of craniosacral therapy and develop standard techniques in Korean medicine.

Objectives : It is important to develop a new Chuna manual therapy as a representative of Chuna manual therapy technique at the time of KSCMM's (Korean Society of Chuna manual medicine) joining a $F{\acute{e}}d{\acute{e}}ration$ Internationale de $M{\acute{e}}decine$ Manuelle (FIMM). Therefore, Sunu manual therapy (SMT) will be introduced as a purely new Chuna manual therapy. Main subject : Sunu manual therapy (SMT) was discovered about two decade ago by a Korean Medicine doctor who wanted to develop a new manual therapy to treat a internal disease. It is very important to make the best use of four powers such as a compression force, a torsion force, a bending force, a tension force using a resonance principle and to experience a feeling of spine axis. SMT is different from Chiropractic technique and Osteopathy technique, in that SMT could treat so many disease using only one technique, but other manual therapy could utilize so many technique to treat only one disease. Discussion : Because SMT utilize a power of a moving in silience, it will take several years to totally master a SMT which will make a patient and a doctor experience a feeling of spine axis. As a feeling of spine axis is deeper, a nerve could be excited and treated by a SMT. Also as a feeling of spine axis is shallower, a muscle could be excied and treated by a SMT. Conclusions : SMT could be classed as a craniosacral chuna therapy or visceral chuna therapy to treat a internal disease considering SMT's action and purpose.
