  • This case report presents the effectiveness of Korean medicine in the treatment of occipital neuralgia. The patient with occipital neuralgia was treated with acupuncture. Acupuncture treatment was administered to the occipital nerve area, which is commonly used in occipital nerve blocks by western medicine doctors. The severity of the symptoms was assessed daily using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score of pain. The patient received outpatient treatment a total of 7 times, and only received acupuncture treatment each time. According to the patient, his symptoms decreased by about 90% two days after acupuncture treatment, and the frequency and duration of the symptoms also decreased. Seven days after all acupuncture treatments, the severity of pain was reduced from NRS 6 to NRS 0. The findings of this case report suggest that treatment with Korean medicine can be an effective option for treating occipital neuralgia. Acupuncture can be a good treatment method for occipital neuralgia, along with western drug treatment and occipital nerve block.

  • The purpose of this study is to report a clinical progress of sudden hearing loss through korean medicine. Between 26th Mar. 2014 and 19th Apr. 2014, she was treated with Chuna manual therapy every day and observed by Pure Tone Audiometry (before and after) and visual analogue pain scale (VAS). A patient was diagnosed with sudden hearing loss on 23th Dec. 2013 in Severance Hospital, she had sudden hearing loss on left side. She had 19 times treatments. At the first of treatment, her audibility was 20 dB on right side, 74 dB on left side and she had tinitus and ear fullness (VAS 8 / VAS 9). At the middle of treatment (2nd Apr. 2014), symptoms of tinitus and ear fullness started improving. State was tinitus VAS 6, ear fullness VAS 6. At the end of treatment (21th Apr. 2014), state was tinitus VAS 4, ear fullness VAS 4, and recorded 35 dB on right side, 80 dB on left side in pure tone audiometry. Chuna manual therapy is estimated to be good for sudden hearing loss especially on tinitus and ear fullness. More cases are required to develop treatment of sudden hearing loss.

  • Objectives : The perpose of this study was to observe the correlation between lumbar lordotic angle and radiological result. Methods : We randomly selected among the 150 patients with lumbar X-ray and MRI films who have visited Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine with low back pain. Radiographic lumbar lordotic angle and lumbar HIVD were collected and stastically analyzed. Results : In this study, if the finding of a X-ray showed straightening of lumbar lordotic curve, based on MRI finding, the number of HIVD increased. Conclusions : There was a significant correlation between lumbar hypolordosis and HIVD, hypolordosis complained mare HIDVs.

  • Objectives : By recording basic data of musculoskeletal patients visiting the emergency room of an oriental medicine hospital. we can understand their characteristics and gain better insight about them. Method : We performed a retrospective study of 551 patients who visited the emergency room of an oriental medicine hospital, from November 1,2008 to October 31, 2009. Result : 1. Of 551 total patients, the male to female ratio was almost same and the 3rd decade of life was the peak age group. 2. The majority of patients visited emergency room between 10:00 and 24:00(midnight). 3. Most patients visited on a Saturday or Sunday. 4. By monthly distribution, the patients increased slightly during January, May and October. 5. The majority of patients visited the emergency room within 24 hours of onset. 6. The patients were categorized as follows : lumbar sprain 66.06%, cervical sprain 16.25%, ankle sprain 9.04%. 7. Admission rate was 21.96%. Conclusion : Assuming that this research will continue adding patient's data continuously, this work will help up to understand the features of musculoskeletal patients who visiting the emergency room of the oriental medicine hospital.

  • Extraction of old pacemaker leads remains a complex procedure owing to fibrotic encapsulation and lead adhesions. We report a case of extraction of 15-year-old pacemaker leads by weight and pulley method. A 81-year-old man presented with exposed pacemaker leads out of body with purulent discharge from a pacemaker insertion site. He inserted DDD (dual chamber pacing, dual chamber sensing dual function) pacemaker implantation 15 years ago for SSS. Previously pacemaker battery was removed 3 years ago due to recurrent infection of pacemaker scar site. We extracted the pacemaker leads by weight and pulley method successfully without any complications.
