Objectives: This study analyzes the electronic medical record (EMR) data of the spine specialist oriental hospital and clinic in various regions, and reports the actual number and used cases of Chuna therapy. Methods: 2,470,772 data was extracted retrospectively from electronic medical records of all inpatients and outpatients who were treated chuna therapy at 21 Korean medicine hospitals and clinics from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The characteristics of medical treatment using chuna therapy reflect the minimum, maximum and average values of the number of hospitalized patients, length of hospitalization, frequency of hospitalization, number of outpatients, frequency of treatment and frequency of visit. Diseases were classified in the proportion of Chuna treatment according to the KCD, 7th edition. The chuna and blindness charts were derived accordingly from illness and disease of each part of the body. Results: During the study period, a total 1,342,022 inpatients and outpatients visited the study sites. The male proportion was a little higher than the females' (male: 53.7%, female: 46.3%). According to age, the 30s and 40s were more than half the total(30s: 33.0% and 40s: 20.1%). Chuna therapy was treated to more outpatients than hospitalized patients (outpatient: 83.6%, hospitalization: 16.4%), and most treatments were related to musculoskeletal illness(99.06%). Conclusions: As a result of this study, 1,342,389 chuna therapy was performed in 21 hospitals for one year. As highly demanded by the public, we look forward to ensuring national health care options and medical access when health insurance for chuna therapy is applied beginning March 2019.

Objectives : The present study examines the domestic trend of Chuna treatments on lumbar spinal disorder in Korea. Methods : We investigated the studies on Chuna treatments for lumbar spinal disorder via searching 10 Korean web databases. As a result, 63 research papers were found to be analyzed according to their published year, the titles of journals, the types of study, the techniques of Chuna, the instruments for assessment, the Chuna technique and the number of the treatment trials by the cases of lumbar spinal disorder and ethical approvals. Results : The number of the research papers published tends to increase every year. The studies on Chuna treatments were mainly published in The Journal of Korea CHUNA Manual Medicine for Spine & Nerves. The most frequently adopted technique of Chuna in the examined studies was Cox flexion & distraction technique. Visual analogue scale(VAS), oswestry disability questionnaire(ODI) were used as primary means of assessments. The ethical problems of the examined studies needed to be improved. Conclusion : Reviewing the domestic trend of studies on Chuna treatments for lumbar spinal disorder and examining the strong and weak points of those treatments are essential for the future studies. It is anticipated that this review benefits the future in-depth study on the treatments for Chuna in Korean medicine.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate current research trends in Chuna manual therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders in China. Methods : Using China Academic Journal and Pubmed, we performed a literature search of studies that were published from 2010 onwards. In total, 15 published studies were included in our analysis. Results : Of the 15 analyzed studies, nine were randomized controlled trials, two were non-randomized controlled trials, and four were case reports. Of the total patients, 80% were treated daily and received ${\leq}30$ treatments in total (excluding one study). In most studies(11 out of 15, 73.33%), the total effective rate of treatment was used to measure the outcome, with the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale being used most frequently. The case report demonstrated a therapeutic effect > 90%. In the control study, except for the two studies that reported significant improvement in the follow-up period, all of the measures were significantly improved (P<0.05) after treatment compared with before treatment. The An(按) and Rou(?) methods were the most frequently used. The Chuna method is categorized into four types: 1) It is performed around shoulders, neck, and face; 2) performed around abdomen, back, and neck; 3) performed on the whole body; 4) performed at the simply-stimulated acupoints. The most commonly used acupoint was Taiyang (Ex-HN 5), and the most frequently used acupoints were predominantly distributed in the head, face, and neck. Conclusions : This study demonstrated that Chuna manual therapy has significant effects when used as a treatment for anxiety disorder, warranting further investigation.

Objectives This systematic review aimed to provide evidence for the effectiveness and safety of Chuna manual therapy (CMT) for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods We searched 12 electronic databases (PubMed, Ovid-MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, CiNii, ScienceON, KMbase, KISS, OASIS, KMTANK, and RISS) up to the end of October 2021. We only included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating CMT for the treatment of CTS. The methodological quality of the included RCTs was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 1.0. Results Six RCTs were eligible for inclusion in our study. A meta-analysis of four studies demonstrated positive results for the use of CMT when used in conjunction with Korean medicine treatment compared to those for Western conservative treatment for CTS. Conjunction treatment significantly improved the total efficacy rate compared to conservative treatment alone (P=0.0007, n=4). Conclusions There is reliable evidence for the use of CMT in treating CTS based on a published meta-analysis. To measure only the effect of Chuna, an experimental group should be designed with Chuna alone to evaluate its effectiveness. However, it should be noted that the studies included in this systematic review were heterogeneous and of low quality, thus warranting further investigation using well-designed RCTs.

The occurrence of neurologic symptoms after cervical manipulation(Chuna treatment) seems to be an uncommon event considering the large number of manipulations performed. The precise incidence is unknown, for only patients with serious complications seek medical care. We recently experienced a 3D-year-old woman who developed sudden neurologic complications after cervical Chuna treatment by a nonprofessional therapist. Whether the manipulation is the major causative factor in the subsequent stroke can be disputable and must be considered in each case. Physicians and patients, however, should be aware that cerebrovascular accidents may occur as a result of cervical manipulation.
