자동 굴곡-신연기법이 만성요통 환자의 요천추 각, 요추만곡, 요추 5번 추간판 각, 그리고 통증에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 만성요통 환자 30명을 대상으로 실험군과 대조군의 두 그룹으로 나누어 실험 전과 후의 요천추 각, 요추만곡, 요추 5번 추간판 각, 그리고 통증을 측정 하였다. 실험군은 온습포, 간섭파, 초음파, 그리고 자동 굴곡-신연기법을 적용하였으며, 대조군은 온습포, 간섭파, 초음파, 그리고 스트레칭운동을 적용하였다. 실험전과 후를 비교해 보면 대조군과 실험군 둘 다 처리효과가 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 실험군의 굴곡-신연기법적용이 대조군에서의 스트레칭운동보다 효과가 월등히 좋다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate Korean medicine treatment on hemifacial spasm and to suggest future research direction. Methods We used seven electronic databases to find articles on Korean medicine treatment of hemifacial spasm and by analyzing the title, abstract, and main text, articles elucidating on Korean medicine treatment on hemifacial spasms were included. Results A total of 68 articles were searched from seven electronic databases. Excluding duplicate articles and articles that satisfied the exclusion criteria, nine articles were included in this study. Acupuncture was used in nine cases, herbal medicine in five cases, physical therapy in three cases, and cupping therapy in one case. In acupuncture, general acupuncture was used in five cases, pharmacopuncture in three cases, and Meridian tendino-musculature acupuncture and thread-embedding therapy in two cases each. Gamigwibi-tang used in two cases was the most frequently used herbal medicine. In physical therapy, carbone, hot pack, interferential current therapy, and silver spike point were used in two cases each. Conclusions It was confirmed that Korean medicine treatment for hemifacial spasm was attempted in varying methods and nearly all cases included in this study showed improvement. However, because of the low level of evidence due to the nature of these case reports, further studies should be conducted for an objective comparison and analysis on the effect of Korean medicine treatment compared to existing treatments.

Objective: This study reported the improved symptoms of integrative Korean medicine-based treatment in a patient diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) who persistently complained of fatigue and chest tightness. Methods: A 51-year-old female SLE patient persistently complaining of fatigue and chest tightness underwent an 18-day treatment with Kracie Shihogayonggolmoryo-tang, Cheongpajeon-H, Gwanjeol-go, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, cupping therapy, deep tissue meridian hot pack therapy, manual therapy, Interferential Current Therapy, and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy. The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for each symptom were measured on admission, at one week, two weeks of hospitalization, and upon discharge. Clinical outcomes were assessed using these two figures. Results: After treatment, there was a reduction in the BFI score (7 to 3). The NRS score of chest tightness with hot flashes decreased from 8 to 5, neck pain lessened from 7 to 5, pain in both ankles diminished from 6 to 4, the cold hypersensitivity of both feet fell from 6 to 4, and heartburn decreased from 5 to 2. In order, the biggest clinical improvement was to heartburn, fatigue, and chest tightness with hot flashes. Conclusion: This case study shows that integrative Korean medicine-based treatment can improve symptoms of a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patient persistently complaining of fatigue and chest tightness with hot flashes and suggests that Shihogayonggolmoryo-tang may be an effective option for managing and treating SLE patients.

It was 7.60 minutes at the university hospitals, and 2.48 minutes at clinics. There was a significant difference in active therapeutic exercise duration between university hospitals and clinics(p<0.001). For modalities, hot packs(89.33%) and interferential current therapy(60.87%) were mostly applied. For manual therapy, Soft tissue mobilization(32.93%) and manipulation(14.10%) were mostly applied. In general, treatment application duration was longer at University hospital (p<0.05). For therapeutic exercise, exercise without equipment(18.84%) and muscle strengthening (16.73%) were mostly performed. The longest treatment duration for therapeutic exercise was 7.60 minutes at the university hospital(p<0.05). Conclusion: physical therapy session duration for low back pain was 53.22 minutes. Modality application constitutes 79%, manual therapy 10%, active therapeutic exercise 8% of total treatment duration. It is concluded that patients do not participate actively in treatment procedures.

본 연구는 발바닥 굽힘근에 저주파 치료인 경피신경전기자극과 중주파 치료인 간섭전류가 뇌졸중 환자의 보행 및 발목 관절가동범위에 즉각적인 영향을 미치는지 알고자 한다. 30명의 연구대상자는 경피신경전기자극군과 간섭전류군으로 동일하게 나누어 마비측 장딴지근에 각각 통전하였다. 60분 통전 직후 스마트폰을 이용한 보행 평가와 발등 굽힘 관절가동범위를 측정하였다. 연구결과 두 전기치료 방법 모두 보행속도, 분속수, 발목 관절가동범위에 유의한 증가를 보였다. 두 전기치료 방법 모두 뇌졸중 환자의 보행 및 발목 관절가동범위를 증가시킬 수 있는 중재 방법이었지만 두 전기치료방법 간의 차이는 더 많은 대상자 모집을 통해 확인되어야 할 것이다.
