  • 통증은 포괄적이고 생리적, 심리적, 사회적 복합현상이기 때문에 통증을 보다 잘 이해하고 더 나은 치료를 위해서는 환자의 삶의 질과 심리적 상태에 대한 평가가 필요하다. 본 연구는 비치성 구강안면통증 환자들이 느끼는 통증의 정도와 통증으로 인한 일상생활의 제한(pain interference)을 평가하고 심리적 요인과의 관련성을 평가하고자 하였다. 또한 성별 및 연령, 통증의 지속기간과 진단에 따른 차이를 함께 평가하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 3개월간 단국대학교 부속 치과병원 구강내과구강안면통증클리닉에 내원한 초진환자들 중에서 간이동통목록(Brief Pain Inventory, BPI)과 병원불안우울척도(Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS)의 두 가지 설문지에 답하고, 비치성 구강안면통증으로 진단받은 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 환자들은 의사와의 첫 면담 전 대기실에서 설문지를 작성하도록 하였고, 작성 후에는 진료실에서 임상검사와 면담을 통해 진단을 내렸다. 총 163명의 환자들이 연구에 포함되었는데, 남녀비 1:1.5, 평균 연령 34.6세, 평균 통증지속기간 13.3개월이었다. 진단에 따라 삼차신경통군(Trigeminal Neuralgia group; TN), 신경병성동통군(Neuropathic Pain group; NeP), 만성안면통증군(Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain; PIFP), 턱관절장애군(TMD)으로 나누고 TMD는 저작근장애군(TMD-m), 관절장애군(TMD-j) 및 근육-관절 복합군(TMD-c)으로 세분하였다. 비치성 구강안면통증 환자들은 중등도의 통증과 중등도의 일상생활 제한을 보였다. 3개월 이상의 만성통증을 가진 환자들은 급성군에 비해 높은 수준의 불안과 우울척도를 보였다(p<0.05). TMD 환자들보다 삼차신경통, 만성안면통증 및 신경병성통증 환자들의 통증이 심하고 pain interference가 컸으며 불안과 우울척도도 높았다 (p<0.05). Pain interference는 통증의 강도과 강한 상관관계를 보였고 우울 및 불안척도와 중등도의 상관관계를 보였다 (p=0.000). 우울 및 불안척도는 통증의 강도와 약한 상관관계를 보였다 (p<0.05). 결론적으로 구강안면통증의 성공적인 치료를 위해서는 통증 자체의 조절뿐 아니라 통증으로 인한 심리적, 사회적 영향에 대한 평가와 심리사회적 측면에서의 지원(psychosocial support)가 필요함을 알 수 있다.

  • 대구지역 재가 지체장애인의 삶의 질과 삶의 만족도에 대한 관련요인을 밝히고자, 1997년 4월에서 7월 사이 한국건강관리협회 대구지부에서 실시하는 장애인 건강검진에 참가한 재가 지체장애인들 중 440명을 대상으로 설문지로 직접 면담하였다. 일반적 특성으로 성, 나이, 결혼상태, 가족수, 교육수준, 경제적 수준, 장애등급, 장애이외의 다른 만성질환 동반여부, 주관적 건강수준을 측정하고, 삶의 질 측정도구로는 Wood Dauphinee 등이 장애인의 정상생활 적응정도를 파악하기 위하여 개발한 Reintegration to Normal Living Index(RNLI)를 이용하였으며, 삶의 만족도는 현재 자신의 생활에 만족하는 정도를 리커트 척도 5점으로 측정하였으나 만족군이 적어서 불만족군과 보통이상의 만족군 두 군으로 나누어서 분석에 이용하였다. 삶의 질 측정으로 사용된 RNLI의 평균점수는 총점 $16.2{\pm}4.8$, 기능항목 $12.2{\pm}3.4$, 인지항목 $4.0{\pm}2.1$이었다. 기능항목 9점이상의 높은 군이 86.6%인데 비해 인지항목 4점이상의 높은 군은 63.2%으로 상대적으로 적었으며, 문항별로 보아 기능항목의 멀리 여행가기, 직업활동, 사회활동의 참여에 인지항목의 대인관계나 사회생활관계에 대한 부정적인 응답이 높아, 기능장애나 능력장애 보다는 사회적 활동이나 대인관계 영역에 대한 적응이 낮은 것으로 보였다. 삶의 만족도 평가에서 불만족군이 52.7%인데 비해 보통이상의 만족군이 47.3%로 나타났다. 단변량분석 결과 삶의 질에는 연령, 결혼상태, 교육수준, 경제적 수준, 직업, 장애등급, 다른 만성질환 동반 여부, 주관적 건강수준이 유의하였으나, 다변량분석 결과 연령, 교육수준, 직업, 장애등급, 주관적 건강수준이 유의하였다. 삶의 만족도에는 연령, 교육수준, 경제적 수준, 직업, 다른 만성질환 동반 여부, 주관적 건강수준이 단변량분석에서 유의하였으나, 다변량분석 결과 경제적 수준, 직업, 주관적 건강수준이 유의한 예측요인이었으며, 사회적 관계를 포함한 인지적인 면이 일상생활동작의 기능적인 면에 비해 삶의 만족과 더 관련성이 높았다. 장애인의 삶의 질 및 삶의 만족도 향상을 위해서는, 직업적 재활교육으로 인한 취업 확대로 그들의 기본적인 경제적 수준을 높이고, 또한 이러한 사회적 참여의 기회를 넓힘으로써 스스로에 대한 평가를 긍정적으로 하도록 유도하는 것이 우선적 과제라 할 수 있다.

  • Background: Migraine headaches are the second leading cause of disability worldwide and are responsible for significant morbidity, reduction in the quality of life, and loss of productivity on a global scale. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of ketamine on migraines and other primary headache disorders compared to placebo and other active interventions, such as midazolam, metoclopramide/diphenhydramine, and prochlorperazine/diphenhydramine. Methods: An electronic search of databases published up to February 2021, including Medline via PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, a hand search of the bibliographies of the included studies, as well as literature and systematic reviews found through the search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating ketamine in the treatment of migraine/headache disorders compared to the placebo. The authors assessed the risk of bias according to the Cochrane Handbook guidelines. Results: The initial search strategy yielded 398 unduplicated references, which were independently assessed by three review authors. After evaluation, this number was reduced to five RCTs (two unclear risk of bias and three high risk of bias). The total number of patients in all the studies was 193. Due to the high risk of bias, small sample size, heterogeneity of the outcomes reported, and heterogeneity of the comparison groups, the quality of the evidence was very low. One RCT reported that intranasal ketamine was superior to intranasal midazolam in improving the aura attack severity, but not duration, while another reported that intranasal ketamine was not superior to metoclopramide and diphenhydramine in reducing the headache severity. In one trial, subcutaneous ketamine was superior to saline in migraine severity reduction; however, intravenous (I.V.) ketamine was inferior to I.V. prochlorperazine and diphenhydramine in another study. Conclusion: Further double-blind controlled studies are needed to assess the efficacy of ketamine in treating acute and chronic refractory migraines and other primary headaches using intranasal and subcutaneous routes. These studies should include a long-term follow-up and different ketamine dosages in diagnosed patients following international standards for diagnosing headache/migraine.

  • Purpose: This study provides a treatment for central nervous system development in patients with chronic stroke by investigating changes in the upper limb function over time. The correlations among the activities, participation, and environmental factors of the international classification of functioning (ICF), disability and health are also examined. Methods: The subjects of this study are 18 patients with chronic stroke who were hospitalized and treated at 00 hospital in the Chungcheongbuk-do province. Their upper extremity functions are evaluated using the manual function test (MFT). The activities, participation, and environmental factors are evaluated using the ICF generic form. The correlations between the total scores of the affected and unaffected sides and the ICF items are analyzed using the Pearson correlation analysis. The significance level is p<0.05. Results: When the correlations between the activities and participation areas of ICF and the total score of the affected side of MFT were examined, significant correlations (p<0.05) were found in the following items: changing basic body position (D410), lifting and carrying objects (D430), moving around using equipment (D465), using transportation (D470), washing oneself (D510), caring for body parts (D520), and dressing (D540). When the correlations between the activities and participation areas of ICF and the total score of the unaffected side of MFT were examined, significant correlations (p<0.05) were found among writing (D170), speaking (D330), eating (D550), and drinking (D560). In addition, when the correlation between the environment area of ICF and the total score of the unaffected side of the MFT were examined, significant correlations (p<0.05) were found between products and technology for personal use in daily living (E115) and immediate family (E310). Conclusion: The MFT of patients with chronic stroke is closely correlated with the activities, participation, and environmental factors of ICF. This result suggests that ICF can be used as a useful tool to comprehensively evaluate the abilities of the patient, including the upper extremity function.

  • Objectives : Most of pains are important symptoms caused by cancer transpered to spine. Harpagophyti Radix Pharmacopuncture is highly effective in reducing fever, pain, inflammation but was never used to reduce pain from cancer transpered to spine. So I intended to use Harpagophyti Radix Pharmacopuncture to control pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical application of Harpagophyti Radix Pharmacopuncture for Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer and Spinal Stenosis. Methods : We examined patient with Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer and Spinal Stenosis who admitted Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital. The patient was treated by Korean Medicine treatment and Harpagophyti Radix Pharmacopuncture. This case was assessed by Numerical Rating Scale(NRS), Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index(ODI), Short-Form 36 Health Survey(SF-36), ROM(Range of Movement) and Special Test. Results : In this study, the patient's pain was controlled and NRS, ODI were decreased. I could identify the improvement in life quality from the positive change of SF-36 and also found out that treatment was successful from the improvement of ROM, Special test. Conclusions : Harpagophyti Radix Pharmacopuncture with Korean Medicine treatment for Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer and Spinal Stenosis was proved to be useful to the pain relief and function recovery, but further research should take place for clear understanding of the exact amount of dosage and safety. Moreover it must be accompanied by long term follow up research.

  • Objective : To compare the fusion rate of a hydroxyapatite demineralized bone matrix (DBM) with post-laminectomy acquired autograft in lumbar interbody fusion surgery and to evaluate the correlation between fusion rate and clinical outcome. Methods : From January 2013 to April 2014, 98 patients underwent lumbar interbody fusion surgery with hydroxyapatite DBM (HA-DBM group) in our institute. Of those patients, 65 received complete CT scans for 12 months postoperatively in order to evaluate fusion status. For comparison with autograft, we selected another 65 patients who underwent lumbar interbody fusion surgery with post-laminectomy acquired autograft (Autograft group) during the same period. Both fusion material groups were matched in terms of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and bone mineral density (BMD). To evaluate the clinical outcomes, we analyzed the results of visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Results : We reviewed the CT scans of 149 fusion levels in 130 patients (HA-DBM group, 75 levels/65 patients; Autograft group, 74 levels/65 patients). Age, sex, BMI, and BMD were not significantly different between the groups (p=0.528, p=0.848, p=0.527, and p=0.610, respectively). The HA-DBM group showed 39 of 75 fused levels (52%), and the Autograft group showed 46 of 74 fused levels (62.2%). This difference was not statistically significant (p=0.21). In the HA-DBM group, older age and low BMD were significantly associated with non-fusion (61.24 vs. 66.68, p=0.027; -1.63 vs. -2.29, p=0.015, respectively). VAS and ODI showed significant improvement after surgery when fusion was successfully achieved in both groups (p=0.004, p=0.002, HA-DBM group; p=0.012, p=0.03, Autograft group). Conclusion : The fusion rates of the hydroxyapatite DBM and Autograft groups were not significantly different. In addition, clinical outcomes were similar between the groups. However, older age and low BMD are risk factors that might induce non-union after surgery with hydroxyapatite DBM.

  • Objective : To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the controlled distraction-compression technique using an expandable titanium cage (ETC) in posttraumatic kyphosis (PTK). Methods : We retrospectively studied and collected data on 20 patients with PTK. From January 2014 to December 2017, the controlled distraction-compression technique using ETC was consecutively performed in 20 patients with PTK of the thoracolumbar zone (range, 36-82 years). Among them, nine were males and 11 were females and the mean age was 61.5 years. The patients were followed regularly at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, and the last follow-up was more than 2 years after surgery. Results : The mean follow-up period was 27.3±7.3 months (range, 14-48). The average operation time was 286.8±33.1 minutes (range, 225-365). The preoperative regional kyphotic angle (RKA) ranged from 35.6° to 70.6° with an average of 47.5°±8.1°. The immediate postoperative mean RKA was 5.9°±3.8° (86.2% correction rate, p=0.000), and at the last follow-up more than 2 years later, the mean RKA was 9.2°±4.9° (80.2% correction rate, p=0.000). The preoperative mean thoracolumbar kyphosis was 49.1°±9.2° and was corrected to an average of 8.8°±5.3° immediately after surgery (p=0.000). At the last follow-up, a correction of 11.9°±6.3° was obtained (p=0.000). The preoperative mean back visual analog scale (VAS) score was 7.9±0.8 and at the last follow-up, the VAS score was improved to a mean of 2.3±1.0 with a 70.9% correction rate (p=0.000). The preoperative mean Oswestry disability index (ODI) score was 32.3±6.9 (64.6%) and the last follow-up ODI score was improved to a mean of 6.85±2.9 (3.7%) with a 78.8% correction rate (p=0.000). The overall complication was 15%, with two of distal junctional fractures and one of proximal junctional kyphosis and screw loosening. However, there were no complications directly related to the operation. Conclusion : Posterior vertebral column resection through the controlled distraction-compression technique using ETC showed safe and good results in terms of complications, and clinical and radiologic outcomes in PTK. However, to further evaluate the efficacy of this surgical procedure, more patients need long-term follow-up and there is a need to apply it to other diseases.

  • Objective : A primary degenerative sagittal imbalance has been considered because of unique lifestyles such as the prolonged crouched posture during agricultural work and performing activities of daily living on the floor. Previous papers have reported that sagittal imbalance disease is often seen distinctly in the farming districts of "oriental" countries such as Korea and Japan. However, this finding was only evaluated with the use of X-ray, and other factors such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), muscle volume, compression fracture, and laboratory results were not considered. Thus, using these, we evaluate the agricultural work-associated factors for Korean elderly spinal sagittal imbalance. Methods : We recruited 103 Korean participants who had a sagittal vertical axis (SVA) of >5 cm in this Korean Elderly Sagittal Imbalance Cohort Study. The following were evaluated : radiological parameters, MRI, compression fracture, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, C-terminal telopeptide, osteocalcin, bone mineral density and muscle fatty change, muscle volume, and health-related quality of life from patients' survey. Moreover, in this survey, the farmers' annual working hours were investigated. Subsequently, we analyzed the associated factors for spinal sagittal imbalance depending on occupation. Results : A total of 46 participants were farmers, and the others were housewives, sellers, and office workers. The farmer group had more SVA (141 vs. 99 mm, p=0.001) and pelvic tilt (31° vs. 24°, p=0.004) and lesser lumbar lordosis (20° vs. 30°, p=0.009) and thoracic kyphosis (24° vs. 33°, p=0.03) than non-farmer group. A significantly positive correlation was noted between the working hour and SVA in the farmer group (p=0.014). The visual analogue scale score for back pain (8.26 vs. 6.96, p=0.008) and Oswestry Disability Index (23.5 vs. 19.1, p=0.003) in the farmer group were higher than that in the non-farmer group, but the Short Form-36 score was not significantly different between the two groups. The Mini-Mental State Exam score was significantly lower in the farmer group than in the non-farmer group (24.85 vs. 26.98, p=0.002). Conclusion : The farmer group had more sagittal imbalance and back pain in proportion to the working hours even though the muscle and bone factors and general laboratory condition were not significantly different between the two groups. These results supported that the long hours spent in the crouched posture while performing agricultural work were a risk factor for severe sagittal imbalance.
