Objectives The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the shoulder lesions in patients experiencing shoulder pain through the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound during Korean medicine intervention treatments. Methods A total of 20 cases were collected, including biceps tendinitis (n=4), calcification (n=3), SASD bursitis (n=4), partial tear (n=2), full-thickness tear (n=1), tendinopathy (n=5), and impingement syndrome (n=1). Musculoskeletal ultrasound was used by Korean medicine doctors to perform real-time scanning and to explain the patient's condition during treatment sessions. Results The use of musculoskeletal ultrasound allowed Korean medicine doctors to perform treatments such as pharmacoacupuncture, acupotomy, and acupuncture more safely and effectively. Patients were able to better understand their conditions through real-time imaging and explanations provided by the doctors. Conclusions Musculoskeletal ultrasound has the potential to enhance the safety and efficacy of Korean medicine intervention treatments for patients with shoulder pain. Institutional or governmental support is needed to further promote the use of medical devices by Korean medicine doctors, ultimately leading to an increase in cases and clinical evidence.

Objective: This case study reported the effectiveness of adjuvant Korean therapy on gait disturbances induced by drug-induced Parkinsonism. Method: A patient suffering from frontotemporal lobe dementia was diagnosed with drug-induced Parkinsonism and treated with adjuvant Korean therapy, including herbal medicine and pharmaco-acupuncture. The evaluation was performed by monitoring the length of time and number of steps during an 8 m gait, using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Results: After 17 days of adjuvant Korean therapy, the UPDRS score improved from 32 to 16. The length of time for the 8 m gait improved from 20 seconds to 14 seconds. The patient also showed a decrease in the number of steps during the 8 m gait from 43 to 22. Conclusion: This case suggests that adjuvant Korean therapy can be effective for drug-induced Parkinsonism.
