This study was conducted to determine how precooling reduces the subjective reported pain and objective pain and to evaluate the effectiveness of precooling the injection site before administration of local anesthesia in children. Electronic databases (PubMed, Ovid SP, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched for publications from 1980 to 2020. Studies were screened for titles and abstracts, followed by full-text evaluation of included reports. Six studies were included in this systematic review. The primary outcome evaluated was the pain perception or the subjective pain reported by the child receiving the injection. The secondary outcome evaluated was objective pain evaluated in each study. Among 5 studies that evaluated child reported pain scores on a visual analogue scale (VAS), 4 studies reported lower scores in the precooling group and one study reported a higher VAS score in the precooling group than in children treated with 20% benzocaine topical anesthesia. Among 6 studies that evaluated the pain reaction of children by Sound Eye Motor (SEM) score, 4 studies reported a lower SEM score in the precooling group, one study reported no significant difference between the precooling and control groups, and one study reported higher SEM scores in the precooling group than in children treated with 20% benzocaine topical anesthesia. Within the limits of this systematic review, evidence suggests that precooling the injection site with ice can be an effective adjunct to topical anesthesia in reducing both subjective and objective pain during local anesthesia administration in children.

본 연구의 목적은 과민치아에 904 nm GaAs 다이오드 레이저를 조사하여 치료효과를 연구하여 과민 치아의 치료에 이러한 저수준 레이저 요법을 임상적으로 사용할 수 있는지 가능성을 파악하는 데 있다. 단국대학교 치과대학 부속치과병원 안면 동통 구강내과에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 하였으며, 각 환자는 치경부에 사아질이 노출된 치아가 적어도 좌우로 2개 이상의 짝이 되는 치아를 소유하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 치아는 모두 50 개로써 실험군 25개, 대조군 25 이었다. Tactile test, cold(ice stick) test, electrical pulp test 를 실험전, 실험 1주후, 2주후, 3주후, 4주후 모두 5회 시행하였다. 레이저조사는 첫방문시, 1주후, 2주후, 3주후 등 4회하되 모두 세가지 검사를 마친 후 시행하였다. 전기치수 검사 외 Tactile test와 cold test는 주관적 평가인 visual analogue scale을 사용하였다. 실험 결과, Tactile test에서 VAS 수치는 시간 경과에 따라 유의하게 감소하였으나 실험군과 대조군간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 전기치수 검사에서는 실험군의 과민도가 대조군에 비해 유의하게 높았으나 (높은 역치를 의미) 시간 경과시 유의한 변화는 볼 수 없었다. 온도 (cold) 검사에서는 레이저 조사후 실험군과 대조군 간의 차이뿐 만 아니라 시간 경과 시에도 유의하게 감소하였다. 이러한 결과를 보아 904 nm GaAs 레이저는 과민치아의 치료에 비가역적인 방법으로서 효과적으로 사용할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Objectives : Herniation of Nucleus Pulpous (HNP) of Lumbar is one of the most common causes of low back pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture, bee venom acupuncture (BVA), and bee venom Pharmacopuncture (BVP) therapy for HNP. Methods : We separated 35 patients with HNP of L-spine into three groups; Acupuncture treated group, BVA treated group, and BVP treated group, and monitored for 30 days. 4 grades of recovery degree, score of Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were examined for comparison. Results : 1. Visual Analogue Scale of low back pain and radiating pain showed significant decrease in BVA and BVP groups compared to the Acupuncture group at VAS0_2, VAS0_3 evaluations. 2. ODI of disability of daily activities showed significant decrease in BVA and BVP groups compared to the Acupuncture group at VAS0_1, VAS0_2, and VAS0_3 evaluations. 3. Compared to the Acupuncture group, BVA and BVP groups were improved in S.L.R.T and R.O.M of L-spine as confirmed by the physical examination. 4. Treatment efficacy was more apparent in acute cases as ODI was significantly lower than chronic cases. Conclusion : BVA and BVP therapies can be used in addition to the acupuncture therapy for highly effective treatment of HNP. Further clinical studies are required to verify these findings.

봉약침(蜂藥鍼)을 위주로한 한의학적 치료로 경추 신경근 병변의 3증상(일측의 경부 동통과 상완부의 방사통, 수부나 수지의 지각이상)을 호소하는 환자(患者)들을 치료하면서 시각적상사척도(Visual Analogue Scale, VAS), JOA score 및 Odom의 평가기준에 따른 호전 양상을 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 객관적 치료 성적을 살펴보면 Excellent인 경우가 7예(50%)로 가장 많았으며, Good이 4례 (28.57%), Fair가 3예(21.43%)의 순이며, 불량으로 평가된 경우는 하나도 없었다. 2. 시술 전 pain rate의 평균 8.82(${\pm}1.27$)에서 시술 후 평균 3.25(${\pm}2.21$)로 평균 차이가 5.57로 매우 유의성 있는 차이를 보였으며(p=0.000), 이는 객관적인 호전율과도 일치하였다. 3. 시술 전 JOA score의 평균이 11.00(${\pm}1.57$)에 서 시술 후 평균 12.79(${\pm}0.58$)로 평균 차이가 1.79로 매우 유의성 있는 차이를 보였다 (p=0.000). 4. 시술 전후의 성별, 나이, 수지비증유무, Disc Type에 따른 pain rate에는 유의한 차이가 없다. (P<0.05) 5. 시술 전후의 성별, 연령별, Disc Type 에 따른 JOA score는 유의한 차이가 없으나 (p<0.05), 수지비증유무에 따른 JOA는 유의한 차이가 있었다(p=.025). 수지비증이 있는 경우 가 좀더 유의하게 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 봉약침(蜂藥鍼) 위주로 한 한의학적 치료가 경추 신경근 병변을 호소하는 환자에게 유의한 효과가 있었으며 다른 한방적 보존적 요법과 더불어 시행시키면 전반적인 경추의 퇴행성 변화에 대한 치료(治療)에 더욱 더 유익하리라 판단된다.
