  • Objective: The purpose of this study is to present basic data for appropriate therapeutic intervention by confirming changes in the autonomic nervous system and pain by applying high-frequency deep diathermy to the lower abdomen in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. Design: A randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: Thirty-eight women aged 18-50 years who complained of regular menstrual cycles (24-32 days) and primary dysmenorrhea symptoms were randomly assigned to a high-frequency therapy group (5, 7, or 9 mins) and a superficial heat therapy group (20 min). High frequency treatment group: The subject was in a supine position, and radio frequency was applied to the lower abdomen below the umbilicus. The radio frequency therapy device used in this study uses a 300 kHz capacitive electrode and a 500 kHz resistive electric transfer to deliver deep heat. Superficial heat treatment Group: Subjects applied a hot pack to the lower abdomen for 20 minutes while lying on their back. Evaluations were made of Heart rate variability and Visual Analogue Scale. Results: In subjects with menstrual pain, there was a significant difference in pain between the high-frequency therapy group and the superficial heat therapy group (p=0.026). However, there was no significant difference between the autonomic nervous system and the stress resistance (p>0.05). Conclusions: As a result of this study, high-frequencytreatment using radiofrequency was effective in relieving pain because it can penetrate deeper tissues than conventional hot packs using superficial heat. In particular, it was found that the optimum effect was obtained when high frequency was applied forfive-seven minutes.

  • High frequency system has been used for the purpose of skin care and obesity treatment, by high-frequency energy is applied to the human body generates deep heat. Conventional high frequency system could not selection control by depending on the body load fluctuations. Such as burns and side effects have been reported by system instability and then therapeutic effect is insufficient. During treatment, objective information about the status of the patient was no. Because of treatment methods are subjective, and so tailored treatments were impossible. In this paper, high frequency medical system with sinusoidal frequency characteristics without distortion of the Push pull switching scheme for pain relief therapy was designed. And control circuit that was designed by feedback using the output changes according to the body-load fluctuation. Last, power circuit for efficient control the heat generated from the hardware was proposed.

  • Purpose : Forward head posture (FHP), characterized by the anterior positioning of the head relative to the spine, is a common postural deviation that can lead to neck pain, reduced mobility, and muscle imbalances. Recently, high-frequency deep heat therapy (HFDT) has been gaining attention for the intervention of FHP. This research aims to investigate the efficacy of HFDT in comparison to instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM) for treating FHP among 30 young adults. Methods : Participants were randomly assigned to either the HFDT or IASTM group. The study focused on examining changes in neck joint mobility, pain thresholds, rounded shoulder distance, lower trapezius muscle strength, and neck dysfunction. Measurements were taken before and after the interventions. Paired t-tests were used for within-group analyses, and independent t-tests were employed for between-group comparisons. The statistical significance level α was set to .05. Results : Statistically significant improvements were observed across all measured parameters in both groups (p<.05). The HFDT group showed significantly greater enhancements in neck joint mobility, pain thresholds, rounded shoulder distance, lower trapezius muscle strength, and neck dysfunction parameters. Specifically, HFDT was more effective than IASTM in improving neck joint mobility, right upper trapezius pain threshold, left rounded shoulder distance, and right lower trapezius strength. The only exceptions were neck flexion range of motion, left upper trapezius pain threshold, right rounded shoulder distance, and left lower trapezius strength, where no significant differences were found between the groups. Conclusion : The findings suggest that HFDT, by combining the benefits of high-frequency therapy and manual therapy, effectively alleviates upper trapezius muscle pain and tension, enhances neck mobility, and strengthens lower trapezius muscles. Thus, HFDT could be considered a valuable intervention for clinicians aiming to address FHP and associated musculoskeletal problems.

  • 최근 코로나19 사태 이후에 건강관리에 신경을 쓰는 사람이 늘어나고 있으며, 많은 사람들이 취미활동으로 스포츠나 운동 후 근육통의 발생으로 생활에 불편함을 느끼고 운동을 쉬는 경우가 많다. 오랜만에 운동하거나, 무리해서 운동하고 나면 운동 후 24~48시간 이내에 온몸에 알이 배긴 것 같은 통증이 나타난다. 이러한 통증을 '지연성 근육통(DOMS(Delayed onset muscle soreness))'이라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 심부열을 발생시키는 고주파 통증치료기를 사용하여서 지연성 근육통의 통증을 완화에 효과가 있는지 유효성 검증을 진행하였다. 평상시, 통증치료 전, 통증치료 후의 근전도를 측정하고 분석을 통해 RMS 값을 구하고 SPSS 프로그램을 이용해서 통계분석을 진행하였고, 통계적으로 유의성이 있는 것으로 판단하였다. 그리고 평상시와 통증치료 후의 RMS 값의 통계분석을 진행하여서 유의성이 없는 것을 확인하여서 통증치료 후 얼마만큼 평상시로 회복했는지 확인하였다. 또한, 통증은 같은 통증의 크기라도 사람마다 느끼는 기준이 다르기 때문에 통증의 크기에 대한 NRS 설문지를 진행하여서 피험자들이 느끼는 통증의 크기를 SPSS 프로그램을 이용해서 통계분석을 진행하였고, 통계적으로 유의성이 있는 것으로 판단하였다. 그래서 본 연구 결과 고주파 통증치료기가 통증부위의 심부열을 발생시켜 온도를 상승시키고, 동맥 및 모세혈관을 확장시켜 혈류량을 증가시켜서 혈액순환 및 신진대사가 증가되면서 지연성 근육통의 통증이 완화되는 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
